A painter friend of mine showed me a caulking trick that utilizes the some of the tips used in this video. This was done after walls were painted and white painted baseboards installed. As in the video, you cut a small angle cut on tip (except you use needle nose pliers and pinch the tip to make the opening smaller). Then you place and angle the gun on the baseboard and your wet finger at the tip of the gun. You then squeeze the trigger and drag the gun along the baseboard with your finger at a quick space that covers around 2 - 3ft. Due to the small opening and your finger running with the gun , it lays down the caulk in one motion. You may have to rerun areas if there are gaps that were not completely filled. Try it.

@randrobinson443 8 месяцев назад

I like my caulking painted so I clean & caulk first, paint last because just after a few years of exposure the caulking turns a different color than the paint... especially that Paintable painters caulk. I've been working on houses since the late 60s.

@truthseekerKJV Год назад

I need to point out the gap from the floor to the baseboard is a great opening for insects to invade your house from inside the walls. Fill those gaps with caulking as well as any gaps in electrical and plumbing coming through the walls, and you will see far less insects in your house.

@supra2k8 Год назад

His flooring looks like LVP, which you shouldn't caulk the trim to the planks

@Alphasig336 Год назад

It’s better to caulk being the wall before installing baseboard.

@alewis6451 Год назад

The gap between base and floor should have quarter round or shoe moulding which is flexible enough to conform to irregular gaps along the bottom of base. paint quarter round prior to installation. Then caulk crack between base and quarter round leaving the floor uncaulked for expansion and contraction. Been out of the business for a while and will pick up this Dap stretch and try it out.

@RunaroundAtNight 10 месяцев назад

This is really helpful. I'm putting new base board down in our bathroom and I followed your instructions and it worked great. I think the big one that helped was the tip to run a small amount, and then do it again if needed to fill larger gaps. I had some pretty big gaps at times, but now using your approach it isn't a mess and it all looks so clean and profession. Thanks again for the great video.

@CinemaPerfectoTV 3 месяца назад

Great video, a few additional tips, if you are doing a lot of caulking, like filling gaps in a shed, etc...buy a powered caulker, caulking a lot is tough on the hands. Instead of using caulk caps, if you are wearing nitrile gloves while caulking, at the end pull off the pinky finger, put it over the cap and wrap it with a little masking tape.

@BlossomPainting Год назад

Nice video…. To address the excess calking problem 11:00 …. I suggest ( IF I make that mistake) …. Instead of running your finger the whole length and collecting a bunch of caulk ,,, I start from the middle and do half in one direction (moving away) then the opposite side (moving the opposite way). This way I pick up less calk and carry the excess caulk to finish more length. If it was a really big line you could do it 3 equal swipes (middle last) … this will prevent caulk from laying high and low and save the mess/waste. It happens

@curiouscat3384 Год назад

Yes - it also prevents spreading the caulk onto the wall or trim where you don't want it.

@ra5928 Год назад

A contractor friend of mine showed me (a rank amateur) a little trick. Put blue tape on the wall at exactly the height of the baseboard. 2 or 3 foot sections at a time. Apply the caulk, do the finger thing, clean off the base board with a damp rag and immediately remove the blue tape. Do not let the caulk dry. IT CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL. There are actually videos on that now. Being 75, I learned that 20 years before YT. Works like a charm.

@jmackinjersey1 11 месяцев назад

Wastes too much time and materials using tape. If you lay it down properly first, you don't even need to wipe it. In fact, you shouldn't wipe it.
