How To Permanently Fix Baseboards Cracks! 

Not now babe, TFC just uploaded

Thank you for all your help. I just contributed as a small thank you. Much appreciated.

With your tips I've gone from being terrible with the caulk to being a monster of caulk, you da man

Loved the video! Exactly what I thought to fixed gaps in my 2 year old house and thanks for recommending the brand!

Wet, moist, caulk in a crack. My favorite kind of RU-vid video.

Have learned a lot from you, thanks for your vids!!!

Thanks for the caulking mini-review!

Thank you for the informative video. I'd like to suggest one please on tackling the seams in crown molding that come apart after a a little bit. Thank you!

Great advice as usual! Where do you source your caulking products, specifically the Dynafex 230?

I can’t watch any of your caulking videos anymore without laughing. In fact as I was doing my caulk job yesterday I was coming up with my own innuendos. I literally couldn’t stop and kept myself laughing the whole day. Thanks for your tip and can’t wait for the next one (see I told you I can’t stop)!!!🤣🤣🤣

Looks good, thanks.

I'ma new DIYer, these videos are very helpful!

Caulking is a glue - I unscrewed a wall cabinet in my kitchen and it was hanging on caulk!

Good to know! Thanks!

I love your videos! Clear, to the point, great camera angles. What more could you ask for!?

Great video as always, you sidestep a few innuendos😂🤣

Identifying those brands is a big help. Now I watched a couple of videos about installing baseboards a couple years back... and I would almost promise you they suggested cutting your end cuts a couple degrees beyond 45 if you have a right angle corner. Didn't you do a video on putting down new baseboards?

👍👍👍Great tip. Thank you

Hi! What would you suggest to use for board and batten gaps? Caulk was used for where the board meets the wall, but my problem is where board meets board. I can’t figure out what to use in those seams. Caulk is shrinking and cracking. It’s making me crazy! 😅 Thank you in advance!!

Can you cover hanging shelves and 3:01 organizers for aluminum siding in garage.

Could you do a video on your favorite tradesman work gear brands for pants, shoes, etc that are comfortable and durable? Thanks for all the good videos

That’s the best caulking for trim out there.

Sick !!! :) ... a little tip, once you've cut a small hole, use those curve wire picture hooks to poke hole in calking tube.

Thanks!

Crocodile wipes is a life saver. Use that instead of wet rags. Multiple uses.

Great tip on that baseboard corner. You sound a little like Seth Rogan.

This is why inside corners should be coped. Just thought I would start a trim war in your comments . LMAO

You wanna shove the caulk in the crack as far as you can. Just moisten your finger and use it to slide the caulk in to the crack. And of course as mentioned, when finished used a wet soapy rag and wipe the caulk until clean.

What is the best type of paint for baseboard and moldings around the door jams? Please and thank you. 😊

What do you think of Extreme Stretch? Is it rebranded Dynaflex 230?

Caulk on!

LOVE YOU

Any tips on cracks in plaster work, that are reappering over and over again?

Like others, I liked the comparison on caulks. LOVED your vids on baseboards and caulking tips (sanding to pre-smooth a bevel in the tip OMG...). The DIYer in me stares at the 800 different type of white caulk and finds whatever looks cheap enough and would still work. Not much thought to the physical properties/etc... But seeing the stretch on the dynaflex was *chefs kiss* veddy nice! Any thoughts on doing an in-depth video on your caulk (yeah, go ahead and laugh)? There's enough options out there, might be worth knowing what sort of properties we should be looking for for special applications.

🇦🇺 Gidday!

Geez, why don‘t they make caulking in small super-glue sized bottles (not the tubes) so we can fine-tune these repairs? Thanks for the videos!

👍

My baseboards are so sad. Gonna get my caulk on

Wer back talkin' caulk

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

He said "Moist"...HeHeHe...:)

If that internal joint was coped and not mitred this wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Or you can do your trim correctly and use a coping saw.

Cut the scribe properly in the first place!

Old credit card works great for the corner.

So the real question is how do you pronounce Alex Plus caulk? I’ve heard you’re actually supposed to say “a-lex” (aylex) instead of “Alex” because the product is an “acrylic latex” caulk. TomAto tomato :)

Never use internal mitres in the first place!!! This is why!!!,

Ok..now do stain grade Oak

POW

Skirting board

It took me less than 1 minute: I hate myself all the time

Those gaps are hideous and scream that the skirting/baseboard was fitted by a cowboy. Only cowboys use mitres. Pros always cope the inside corners which will minimise any gaps down the road. This is even more important when fitting to stud walls which will almost certainly shrink a bit when the house starts being heated. If you cope the boards then you can fit them perfectly even when the walls are really out of square and plumb due to errors in bricklaying and plastering on houses that are centuries old.

To all the internet pros saying those should be coped corners. Yeah we all get it. But the reality is 99% of houses that get constructed have mitered corners because it is faster and time is money to builders. So there are millions and millions of corners like this out there that need help to reduce the appearance. And let's not kid ourselves, even coped miters can show a crack along the cope line.

Get out of my head man. How do you keep posting exactly what project the wife asks me for the day before I start working on it.

Those old baseboards are awful. I have MDR and it's eternal.

Somebody get this guy a rag and 5 in 1 tool

😂😂😂😂 aint nobody doing this shit.

"moist finger", "tip in the crack" ugh-ugh

I get called to really fix your house after this guy's gluing it together fails.

"baseboard crack" = poor joinery. Have we forgotten how to cope?
