Having spent a lot of time and trouble repainting the bottom of the boat I had no wish to splash it with paint stripper when stripping the topsides.
I used plastic sheeting to protect the paint. Here is a view of the port side.
And this is the transom.
I have only taped the sheeting to the rub rail and to itself to form a curtain around the boat. No tape is in contact with new paintwork since previous experience tells me that tape always leaves a mark, however faint. And we don't want that!
The sheeting is not in contact with the paint work either, so it can't abrade the surface.
The primary purpose of the sheeting is to protect against splashes of paint stripper, but it also plays a secondary role in preventing damage by accidental contact. Which is not unlikely, given that the garage is in frequent use by the other member of the household …
