In the past few months, I have seen many DIY Instagram influencers recommending the use of liquid masking tape and primer. Two brands have been mentioned, and I was able to find one of them locally, Jasco Mask & Peel. Everyone I follow on Instagram is always raving about this product and its amazing results, so when I was ready to paint a 15-lite door in my home gym, I decided to try it out and put it to the test.

The instructions stated that I should apply a thick coat of the mask and it could be applied using either a brush or a spray. I opted for the brush and was careful to apply it neatly on the wood parts of the door. Applying the mask on all 15 glass panes took me around 20 minutes in total. The mask is white in color when applied, but it dries clear.

What I didn’t expect was how long it took for the mask to dry. I began at 9pm and by 11:20pm, only two of the 15 panes were dry. That was quite frustrating and something I hadn’t heard any of the Instagrammers mention. The next morning, it was all dry and clear.

I then applied two coats of paint, sanding lightly between coats with a 220-grit sandpaper. After the second coat dried, I used a utility knife with a brand new razor blade to score around the edges of each pane and then peeled the mask off. This process was quite satisfying and took around 15 minutes in total.

My overall assessment of the product is that it is good. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The ease of use and the fact that it does a great job of sealing the space between the trim and the glass are both great features. The only downside is the drying time which was much longer than I expected. Now that I know what to expect, I can plan around that in the future and make sure I apply the mask the night before I plan to paint.

I do recommend this product, just make sure you are aware of the drying time and plan accordingly.
