Caulking is one of those things when working on a house project that might seem unnecessary or even a little daunting to do. It can get messy really quickly and when you are at the end of a project, you kind of just want to be done and don't really want one more thing to do. Caulking can totally change up a space though and give it a finished look whether it's baseboards, trim, moulding, staircase, shiplap, board and batten, etc. It's also great on bathroom projects and outdoor projects. I'm going to show you how to caulk baseboards and this is the easiest way I have found to do it. With just a little practice, you'll be a pro in no time!
Supplies Needed:
Caulk - This is the kind I use the most. I prefer white over clear because it's easier to see what you are doing. You need to make sure that it is paintable.
Spray Bottle
Old Rags - You'll need to get them wet
Scissors To Cut The Tip Off Tube Of Caulk
Start by prepping your area, make sure to wipe everything down so there is no dirt or dust. Then you are going to load your tube of caulk into the caulking gun and tighten it until it's locked in.
Once the tube is loaded, you can cut the tip off the tube - you will want to cut as small of a hole as possible and make sure to cut it at an angle. The bigger the hole, the more caulk will come out which can result in a big mess! You can always cut the hole a little bigger if you need more, but it's best to start out small.
When your tube is ready to go, you simply push down the handle and run the tip along the edge of the baseboard where the baseboard meets the wall. You can do as little or as much at one time that you'd like. I usually do about 10-15 inches before I stop and do the next step.
Grab your spray bottle and squirt the line of caulk that you just laid down and then run your finger over the line to remove any excess. Take your wet rag and run the rag over the line to smooth it out and to dry up any water. Wipe your finger on a different wet rag and move onto caulking the next line. I like to keep one rag to wipe my finger and one rag to smooth and wipe the area I'm working on.
You can start the next line right where you left off and once you follow the steps above it will all blend in seamlessly.
These baseboards that I'm working on will need a coat of paint after I finish caulking, but depending on your project this could be your very last step and you could be done. Check out the before and after below - such big difference!
I've had quite a few people reach out and ask me about caulking so hopefully this tutorial helps! Shoot me an email or DM if you have any questions. For more links of our favorite products that we love, check out our Amazon page.

Scams are the worst, and the people who go out of their way to run them deserve jail time. They completely take the fun out of everything, including Digital Currency. Because Digital Currency transactions are irreversible, cryptocurrency isn’t reliable to every expert out there to recover lost or stolen crypto.
Over the years, cryptocurrency exchanges have gotten a lot tighter in terms of security. However, this doesn’t mean that people can’t fall victim to bad people out there. This is why we also have to do our part in securing our money and understanding the nature of these things.
One of the best things about Digital Currency is that it’s decentralized, allowing two people to exchange value without the need for a third party, like a bank, to arbitrate the transactions. Because of this, Saclux Comptech Specialst has made it easier to guide victims of cryptocurrency for assistance on how to secure their Digital Currency and help scam victims to regain access to their lost digital currency. Let Saclux Comptech Specialist know your problem with your fake online investment. Their info to contact: talk2us@sacluxcomptechspecialst.com Whatsapp: + 44 7492 213552
Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $970,600 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about Mr. JAMES MCKAY WIZARD RECOVERY from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot. Since I do not have any other option and nothing more to loose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is up to par and I recommend him, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31647340446. you can do well to thank me later.

I want to share a cautionary tale with you. As someone who has experienced the devastating consequences of a cryptocurrency scam, I urge you to exercise extreme caution when dealing with digital currencies. I lost a significant amount of money ($125,900 to be exact) after being deceived by an online investment company. They promised me a high return on investment, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they asked for more money, which only fueled my anxiety.
That’s when I reached out to Softweartech, a reputable online recovery agent. I emailed their support team at softweartech5@gmail.com and received a prompt response. They took the time to listen to my situation and provided me with valuable guidance and support throughout the recovery process. Their transparency and integrity gave me confidence in their abilities, and I was thrilled to see my funds recovered.
