Plastic wrap for dust proofing lights during construction (floors)

[Buck Parrish]

During the floor sanding.

Is their a certain bag that you know of that people cover lights, fans, etc ?

I see the real thin plastic ones that work great. But I'm not sure what they call them.

Do you know if their is a specific brand or name of the bag ?

Laundry bags.
If you're covering a lot of lights. Light weight hand masking plastic.
Painter's use it a lot.

I don't think a typical laundry bag is going to cover most ceiling fans.

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

Very good.
But it could cover lights and etc.
That what the plastic sheets come into play.

Having not had to do this, my guess is that it would depend: are the blades mounted or not.

Amazing the knowledge we find here!

For a fan, 4 (or 5) smaller garbage bags will wrap individual blades, and masking tape around the base/motor. Just watch the roller going by!

Watch the plastic if the lights are on-- too much heat and you'll have a shrink-wrapped fixture!
