I love this guy he takes his time teaches slowly so its easy to do. Sharing his craft not lieing or keeping secrets to boast himself. If each one teach one we would have more ppl working and less in need. Helping one another. ❤ #jalpenolover

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.

@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 .

@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.

It's not worth the extra time.

Facts, their acting like he’s throwing tape on the ceiling so he can cut the walls in

imagine you’re life being so boring and broke you argue about paint on a youtube video. lol

I guarantee you lines with a brush is straighter than this. You finish with painting the baseboards last. That's where you get your straight lines. Homeowners use alex dap products. I've never seen a respected professional dap anything. I've been painting since 1996.

​@habibimaya yup dap sucks plus a freehand line looks better then a tape line any day

2 cuts 3 rolls you mean

Hey moron no it’s not research more stop talking about something you obviously know nothing about lol…

Lmao 30 years still using training wheels

Like I said post a video of you making a perfect line or STFU.

​@@johncorbin5332lol 😆

I’m a painter and I never use tape, tape for me is just protection from roller spray. But fair play to the guy for doing it himself! ❤

​@@gonzobonzo4480And it looks ugly and unprofessional underneath you. What's your point? Pride? ✴️

Damn Mary did you just you like a caulk on your finger...

@@jeemale9207 she loves the smoothness she said

I bet you do…

Lol freaky ass 😂😂

Mary loves caulk

It is a textured wall, it would look haggard if you caulked after paint. I used to think the same thing when I worked for builders, they just want stuff done, don’t do it proper. You caulk, then paint.

@@Bozwald not if you clean the wall after with a tapered tile sponge. It's how I make my baseboards look perfect

@@jeshuaadams5869 Agree to disagree, the paint does the work of distinguishing the trim from the wall, (assuming it’s painted baseboard. Caulk is not meant to be seen, especially if the trim isn’t white.

Or you could use a caulking tool?

We know what a knifes edge is… you ever heard of other methods? These techniques didn’t come out of nowhere , lemme guess you paint every single day and do it for a living

Trim? Like do the trim first? I've never painted lol please explain! I gotta do my living room soon

@@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! :)

You mean cut first

@@danmitchell357 Sorry yep 👍

Yeah Cutting the edges with a 2” or a 2.5” is usually what we do first… frankly, I think it’s what every painting crew does since the roller guys can just roll without worries/issues Some use cheap tape for some parts but I haven’t seen anyone use tape & caulk yet 😂… I would imagine that even DIY painters just get Green Frog Tape since it’s pretty good

Same here

💯

When i started there was no tape

When I started there was no base boards

When I started there was no walls😊😊😊

Lol you moron wtf are you talking about clearly you have done no type of finishing in your life hahhaha

@john dunne probably why no one wants an Irish paint job, you wouldn’t get work here bud. Go to a million dollar house, or any of the houses I’ve worked in over the years, you’d be cleaning all the specs off of the floor and trim without tape.

Don't do it bro you're better off putting the frog tape and sealing it with a five and one or a spatula the caulking shrinks and after you paint it it it cracks because of the caulking shrinking

Everyone thinks they don't need tape, until they make 1 tiny mistake, then the regret sets in. And you're wiping spots off baseboards with acetone.

@@jordanlong00 if you use latex wipe them right then no acetone needed.

I would say, constructive criticism, but yeah, some commenting may have not picked up a paint brush? 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♀️

​@@ikeepitshoWhat's constructive from know it alls? Being sloppier with a bigger ego? 😂

​@@shawnr771No. Just use tape. It's better and more efficient. Use your head.

Ideally you wait for the caulk to dry before painting over it.

It's one of the best

Only stuff I buy. The blue tape doesn't always stick well, and high desert heat ruins the roll when left in the truck.

If you use frog tape and then run a wet rag over it.

You're right where I used to work in the in the company it was just a painting company but you put the tape correctly and you seal it with a five in one

Nope that's dumb you have to work the caulk no matter what

@@andrejslv4192 how do you know its dumb if you haven't tried. If you dont have the skill i understand why you might get defensive and call it dumb when u have never even tried it. You will use less then half the material the end result looks better and your finger or tools dont get covered in caulk something your probably use to.

This method is the hard way… price wise at least… you’re better off either buying a stiff brush and taking your time to properly cut OR get some Green frog tape that does this “trick” as well

​@carlosf9278 yeah I just cut it with a brush and as long as I take my time it ends up great. this technique can work great for doing straight lines on textured surfaces,

And that was absolute hell in 2010 too!! You walk in and almost duck down to miss those god awful monstrosities hanging from the ceiling... texture and popcorn should have been gone by, well, they should have never, ever been invented in the first place... yuk.

Yeah in the UK it was woodchip paper and Artex. I hope it never makes a comeback here

He lives in the Western United States where they still do that

@@andrejslv4192 Uhhh, not sure who or in what armpit town, but here in Colorado, we don’t see new homes with these nightmarish accents!

@@leerob2403 I painted houses all over Denver and the surrounding area tons of textured walls

Ok cool guy 😎

Your ego is ugly

Shut up Chris.

You guys who don’t use tape are the guys I come repaint after. After the homeowner has someone clean all the paint splatter from rolling off the of baseboards and floor.

@@Bozwald seriously. We can all cut straight lines. But tape is very important for splatters, sprinkles, after we finish coat our walls we pull tape and our fresh baseboard is clean and not in need of touch up. The guys who show up in filthy paint clothes with limited tools and just smash out a job are usually the guys who don’t make it past the 90 trial period

Did u try it yet? It work?

I know what you mean about the step with tape.... But youre not feeling the transions with your eyes, youre just looking at them. Besides 75% of people cant tell the difference between a shitty paint job and a good one. I understand where youre coming from tho.

Let it setup for a little bit, you've got about 15 minutes working time with the caulking, remove it before then. Don't let it dry or you'll get paint tares

@@jcluttrellthanks

Tru, but what if you are just starting our to paint? I don’t use tape when I cut unless it’s called for.. but I do be doin a lot of touch ups after 😅😅 If you’re not confident I’d use tape, delicate tape of the surface has been previously painted. But for beginners, it’s always good to practice but it’s hard to find the balance when trying to reach a deadline you know?

And cost
