Caulking Tutorial

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. 

Caulking Gun 

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.

  • Sharing my experience investing in Bitcoin and losing money to scammers is something I’m willing to do. Nevertheless, you can get your stolen bitcoins back. I was led to assume that Bitcoin recovery was impossible, so I never gave it much thought. I did, however, lose over $92,000 as a result of falling for a forex scam that promised excessively high profits somewhere in May. After a month of looking for assistance, I eventually found an article on Reddit about recovering stolen cryptocurrency and contacted (wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com). Because I had heard about negative situations, I was quite dubious and afraid. Nevertheless, I chose to give him a shot, and to my utter amazement, I was able to retrieve all of my stolen bitcoins from the scammers in a remarkably short amount of time. Additionally, they were able to show me the most reliable and authentic Bitcoin investment.

  • How I Got My Lost 2007 Crypto Back: My Story with Mighty Hacker Recovery
    Stepping into crypto back in 2007 felt like stepping into a hidden treasury. I was full of hope, dreaming of a future where a wild bet would pay off. Then, just as fast, the dream turned into a nightmare when I lost access to my investment. For years, that small fortune seemed gone forever. But a single Facebook ad changed everything, bringing a wave of hope and a path back to what I’d written off as lost.

    How I Lost My Crypto from 2007
    In 2007, Bitcoin was the bold new kid everyone whispered about online. I scraped together whatever I could spare and invested, picturing huge returns. It felt like a ticket to freedom.

    But keeping crypto safe wasn’t simple. I forgot passwords and misplaced keys—rookie mistakes for a bold new market. The money sat there, out of reach, as years ticked by.

    Nothing prepares you for the gut punch of seeing your investment grow, but being unable to touch it. The regret lingered every time I read about rising prices. For over a decade, I thought the loss was on me forever.

    The Search: Finding Mighty Hacker Recovery on Facebook
    Desperation makes you creative. I tried every recovery method I could find, searched old devices, tried every password I’d ever used, and talked with forums. Every lead turned cold.

    Randomly one evening, while scrolling Facebook and battling my own frustration, a bold ad for “Mighty Hacker Recovery” popped up. It made a big promise: lost crypto recovered, no miracle required.

    Of course, my guard shot up. Who hasn’t heard stories of online scams and false fixes? But the ad’s comments were filled with real recovery stories that started to lift my doubt. The tiniest spark of hope returned.

    Working with the Recovery Expert
    Curiosity won out. I clicked and started a chat. The expert was clear, calm, and patient. I explained my story and they listened with sharp attention. Their instructions made sense and each answer built my trust.

    Each day, I checked in with the expert. They asked questions, showed me how to send what was needed and explained every step. The transparency was new to me. The expert never made me feel foolish for what I’d lost or forgotten.

    Here’s what stood out:

    Patience. No rushed answers, no pressure.
    Clarity. Every step explained in plain words.
    Updates. I never had to wonder about the next step.
    I began to believe. Each day added a little more hope.

    The Moment I Got My Crypto Back
    It happened fast once the final piece clicked. I got a message: check your wallet. Hands shaking, I opened my crypto wallet… and there it was. My investment, right where it belonged, after so many years.

    The rush of relief swept over everything—the regret, the anxiety, even the hope. All replaced with pure gratitude. My mistake had been erased, thanks to an expert who knew the path.

    If you’ve lost access to your crypto, don’t give up. There are real people out there who know how to help. Mighty Hacker Recovery was my lifeline. Ask for help because that single step might change your story too.

    Conclusion
    Losing crypto can leave you feeling alone. I spent years thinking my mistake was final. But help exists. With patience, trust and the right expert, lost investments can come home. Don’t lose hope. Take action, reach out, and remember—there’s always a way back.
