Insert mask for masking ceiling or wall fixtures

A mask system for masking a fixture having a defined opening, the mask system comprising:

• an insert, wherein said insert includes a retention surface and wherein said retention surface includes a profile to frictionally engage said fixture, wherein said insert includes a protective surface connected to said retention surface, wherein said protective surface substantially covers said defined opening when said retention surface is frictionally engaged with said fixture;
• and
• an installation member, wherein said installation member includes a handle member and an insertion connector, where said insertion connector is operably couplable to said handle member, wherein said insertion connector is removably couplable to said insert, and wherein said installation member enables the frictional engagement of said insert with said defined opening when said installation member is coupled to said insert, and wherein the insertion connector and the protective surface are rotatably couplable, and wherein the insertion connector includes a pair of locking tabs.
