Appreciate the reply.

What Scrod said. For the big areas they use a special tape which is neat stuff. They roll a piece into an ice cream cone shape and just shove it into the heat tube etc.

For all the little holes they have reusable silicone plugs. They come in a million sizes and are slightly tapered like a wine bottle cork. It makes things fast and easy and yields a tidy border for perfect results.
