3M Hand Masker Painter's Plastic Plus MFB-12 – 12 ft x 400 ft, 0.31 mil

Overview: clear, large-area protection for painting projects

3M Hand-Masker Painter's Plastic Plus is a clear plastic sheeting roll designed to cover large areas and protect surfaces from paint splatters, spills, drips, roller mist or spray. This film is paint-flake-resistant for easier cleanup and is water, lacquer and solvent-resistant, making it versatile for many project types. Unlike masking paper, it offers no bleed-through and relies on static cling to stay in place, helping contain job-site dust and overspray.

The roll features an easy-to-find leading edge, which supports a straightforward start to prep work. To use, unroll the desired length and secure with painter's tape. Allow 30–60 minutes for the tape to set before you begin painting. When you’re finished, wait for the paint to dry to the touch before removing the tape and the plastic. This combination of coverage and clarity can help you protect floors, walls and fixtures while you work.
