Do you want to save time, and effort when you are caulking? Jeremy of Super Vassar Brothers explains why the Pro method is easier and faster for your paint job.
We caulk the gaps. If it’s been caulked previously then you don’t have to caulk it. If it’s new trim then we caulk the entire length both top and bottom.
I've found one of the biggest things to get across to newbie caulk users is to stop cutting the tip so big and don't put so much on!! I also always have a wet rag in a small bucket of water nearby on the job. All the time. Helps a lot when keeping your fingers clean while caulking
I’m assuming you mean kitchen cabinets. If that’s the case then that can be a tricky process. In general terms you need to use an adhesion primer, sometimes that means an oil based of shellac based primer. Then go over that with a finish paint like advance from Benjamin Moore
I like using the utility knife to cut the tube too. You can never have too many knives.
The blade itself incites to deeds of violence
Love your videos! Is it necessary to caulk entire length-top/bottom of crown molding if some areas are flush to the wall?

The bucket of water is a good move. We use a lot of blue paper towels and wash our hands. I agree with you on cutting smaller hole as well 🫡
Thanks for tips! What areas necessitate more flex? Crown mouldings? Why? Thanks :)
Some homes / areas of homes move more than others. If you notice a lot of joint movement then go with something like Shermax
topgun or nuffin! long set up time but its killer
I’ll give that a try. We use powerhouse and sometimes shermax if we need more flex.
Hello how to paint mdf kitchen. Pls advice me 😅

Do you ever use 1050 qd
I’ve used it, but I still prefer powerhouse. If we need something with more flex to it then I use Shermax
I call baloney on the paper towels; you guys just wipe your fingers off on your pants and T-shirts, not paper towel! 😆
Whoa whoa whoa…only when we run out of paper towels…or forget that we have paper towels.
