Identifying those brands is a big help. Now I watched a couple of videos about installing baseboards a couple years back... and I would almost promise you they suggested cutting your end cuts a couple degrees beyond 45 if you have a right angle corner. Didn't you do a video on putting down new baseboards?

I can’t watch any of your caulking videos anymore without laughing. In fact as I was doing my caulk job yesterday I was coming up with my own innuendos. I literally couldn’t stop and kept myself laughing the whole day. Thanks for your tip and can’t wait for the next one (see I told you I can’t stop)!!!🤣🤣🤣

@saltydroog854 6 ай бұрын

@@TheFunnyCarpenter You are probably better off not mentioning it. Because the industry is filled with cry babies that don't want to hear about how the way they do it is wrong. So they will shout, piss, bitch and moan about how their miters nEvEr oPeN, when in realty what they mean is they've never seen one of their miters 3 years later. And really, if everyone knew how to do it right, you wouldn't have a video to make telling them how to fix their work. #TrimWar2024

Hi! What would you suggest to use for board and batten gaps? Caulk was used for where the board meets the wall, but my problem is where board meets board. I can’t figure out what to use in those seams. Caulk is shrinking and cracking. It’s making me crazy! 😅 Thank you in advance!!

@morethanenoughwoodworks7654 6 ай бұрын

You wanna shove the caulk in the crack as far as you can. Just moisten your finger and use it to slide the caulk in to the crack. And of course as mentioned, when finished used a wet soapy rag and wipe the caulk until clean.

Any tips on cracks in plaster work, that are reappering over and over again?

@TheFunnyCarpenter 6 ай бұрын

I'm not super familiar with plaster, but perhaps you try some dynaflex or big stretch in the cracks.

@sjoerdtollenaar4089 6 ай бұрын

@@TheFunnyCarpenter tnx for the reply, that might be a good idea. I havent found dynaflex over here in the Netherlands. Permanent solution is scraping away some of the plaster and then reinforce it with mesh material. But I just painted that wall. Not really eager now, maybe in a decade or so.

@nimrodery 6 ай бұрын

@@sjoerdtollenaar4089 I highly recommend not using mesh tape, if you do then use FibaFuse instead (looks like actual fibreglass) it will still absorb and bond with most if not all filler compounds.

Like others, I liked the comparison on caulks. LOVED your vids on baseboards and caulking tips (sanding to pre-smooth a bevel in the tip OMG...). The DIYer in me stares at the 800 different type of white caulk and finds whatever looks cheap enough and would still work. Not much thought to the physical properties/etc... But seeing the stretch on the dynaflex was *chefs kiss* veddy nice! Any thoughts on doing an in-depth video on your caulk (yeah, go ahead and laugh)? There's enough options out there, might be worth knowing what sort of properties we should be looking for for special applications.

So the real question is how do you pronounce Alex Plus caulk? I’ve heard you’re actually supposed to say “a-lex” (aylex) instead of “Alex” because the product is an “acrylic latex” caulk. TomAto tomato :)

@chippysteve4524 6 ай бұрын

Those gaps are hideous and scream that the skirting/baseboard was fitted by a cowboy. Only cowboys use mitres. Pros always cope the inside corners which will minimise any gaps down the road. This is even more important when fitting to stud walls which will almost certainly shrink a bit when the house starts being heated. If you cope the boards then you can fit them perfectly even when the walls are really out of square and plumb due to errors in bricklaying and plastering on houses that are centuries old.

@davidedwards4720 4 ай бұрын

To all the internet pros saying those should be coped corners. Yeah we all get it. But the reality is 99% of houses that get constructed have mitered corners because it is faster and time is money to builders. So there are millions and millions of corners like this out there that need help to reduce the appearance. And let's not kid ourselves, even coped miters can show a crack along the cope line.
