What happens here

Begin by preparing the electrical fixtures for masking. Carefully remove the plastic cover plate from the electrical outlet or light switch. This typically involves unscrewing one or two small screws located in the center of the plate. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the cover plate away from the wall to expose the electrical device.

Goal: Prepare outlets and switches for masking
