I’ve been a painting contractor for 15 years and I can second what you are saying. Professionals are able to cut in with the white straight with ease. But the caulking trick with the body color works just fine to for the average person. Nice job jalapeño!

Well, I think it would help if he puts the tape since the beginning on the baseboard, then the cualk, then let the caulk dry n paint the wall. This is the best way for the DIY's.
@ivanchavez42652 жыл бұрын
@robert mayes yes, this is why caulk has to be wiped or cleaned then let it dry so it doesn't Crack when the paint dries. Also if caulk is still wet the brush will drag it .
@ivanchavez42652 жыл бұрын
@robert mayes if u r a pro. Did u consider that its better to let every material dry the proper time so it works better?? Do u knw that if u apply paint on wet calking there is a big chance that when ur paint dries n the caulk starts dryin( not the same day but in about 2 days) there will be a Crack on paint. If caulk Is clean n let it dry ( the caulk he is using is the fast drying one 10 - 30 depending how much or thick the caulk, temperature etc) when paint it's still a little wet u can remove te tape or when it's completely dry just don't pull it hard make it slowly . U have experience n practice so u knw how to make ur projects work but to ppl who doesn't they have to be told more info so they don't make mistakes. Jalapeño solutions is not a pro but it's good.

The caulking after taping is for textured walls (especially deep textured walls). If you use just tape, the paint will just barely squeeze underneath the tape between the lumps and ridges of the texture not making it a super straight line. Of course, using a Purdy eliminates all that IF you know how to use it/cut properly. For everyone else, this is worth it.

@@lyssakate Yep, so when you trim with a brush, it leaves brush marks, unlike a roller. If you roll first, when you trim you'll get brush marks at least a few inches wide. But if you trim first, you can come back with a roller and roll close to your trim which covers most of the brush marks. It's pretty easy to roll within an inch or less of the trim. Also, make sure to remove all outlet/light switch covers before you paint, that way you don't have to try painting around them. Anyway, there are other ways to do it, this is what works for me. If you've never painted before I would suggest watching a couple KZfaq videos first, as there are different ways to paint. You've got this! :)
