Caulking to Paint a Living Room

Hello, my name's Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter and today I represent Expert Village.com. OK, now we're going to talk a little bit about caulking. Now, when you're caulking be sure you have a good caulking gun like we went over in the beginning and it has a poker on it. If you don't have a tube of caulking in there then it's real simple to put one in. Just pull this plunger all the way back, pop this out of there and then put it back in there and then tighten it on up, OK? So, you want to be sure and poke it with your poker, which I've already done, and then feed the caulking into the end. So lay out your bead and pull that all the way down and you just kind of work that bead down. Once you get a little bit of caulking on there run that out with your finger and you want to smooth that out. When you're running caulking always smooth out the lines because if you leave any ridges on there they're going to show. Now you see I left a little spot at the top so I'm going to put a little more caulking up there so I can even that out. This happens a lot and you know you just want to finish up your bead. Go ahead and even it out when it's wet and you're not going to have any problem. Then you go ahead and bring the bead up from the bottom and do the same kind of thing. Now we bring that on up and then go ahead and bring it on up from the bottom. Now we want to look back over it to see if there's any holes or pin holes, or cracks that you've left. And that's looking really, really, good so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to finish on the cracks on the base boards and then I'm going to work on the other door jams as well and get all the cracks in this room so it's all nice and tight. And these are a few of the tips you need to keep in mind whenever you're doing the caulking on your interior living room.
