Every trade requires its own bag of tricks. For homeowners or DIY’s who are capable of doing the work but haven’t been around the trade long enough to learn all the tricks, pointing out the caulk /tape trick is super helpful. Thank you. Looking forward to more content!
Or use frogtape... Activated properly with a damp rag as the instructions indicate. Or seal the top of the tape with trim paint first. None of these are really secrets, but using caulking in my opinion is the slowest method to achieve a crisp line.
Using trim paint also works. The only thing is that you need to wait for it to dry before painting the wall. With caulking you can paint the wall, all the way up to the tape, right away.
@@edsdiyhandymanshow3944 that's why you do it right away before you do your high cuts and roll the 1st coat. Just gotta work in the right order. You also don't need to cake it on.. A nice light coat to seal the edge should dry very fast, much faster than caulking.
