Great work, Spencer. Clear caulk is definitely the way to go on internal corners. I'm not a painter but I final coat spray my built-ins and cabinetry on site usually. I'll be using your trick of dampening the frog tape on flat walls before painting in future. You're the only person I've seen do this. Great tip. Cheers!

Thanks for the tips. I don’t have caulk, but I will try wetting the tape first and bringing in the darker color slightly to the other wall before I paint the lighter color. First time painting an accent wall 🫢

I'm going to be doing it too. 😊 I've never heard of frog tape (UK) so I hope I can get it. How do I wet it - a damp cloth? Then caulk? I so want to do the best job. Thanks anyone who can answer.

It may not be rocket science but these are great tips! I always have an issue but this makes so much sense. Thanks Spencer!

Once again fantastic! Never thought of it. Always cut in with a brush (used to) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Lovely result. You said clear caulk but it was white. Can you confirm please? Is the tape different to masking tape?

@rickmorty7170 Жыл бұрын

The last section… I would paint the dark colour on the tape first so it seals the tape with the dark colour. Then go with the white.. caulk is fine but I can never predict cracking or crazing so I try to use caulk as little as possible. 👍🏻

For inside corners you discussed taping, clear caulking, painting, and removing the tape all within 5 minutes. What if you need to paint multiple coats and/or prime it first? Do you really have to get the tape off that quickly, or were you just saying that’s how quickly it can be done? Thank you!

@@KS-by5pn it’s a question I get all the time so here’s what I’m going to tell you to do and I cover it in the video I believe… You going to put a super thick coat in the corner however, if it is a color such as a dark color that keeps revealing the color underneath it, you’re going to have to put two coats in the corner instead of one thick coat; in this case, remove the tapeand do it again when that first coat is dry; you will be very happy that I told you this on the other hand, I would simply leave the tape because I have done this at least 100 times and I know how long is too long, but if you’re new to this, be safe and do it twice

the paint will dry before the caulk. as the caulk dries it shrinks which will crack the paint

I've used this technique for some time now save carrying the 1/2" or so onto the the adjacent wall. That was a helpful tip. Thanks! I've done a good deal of light commercial work and my experience has been that the corners can be quite irregular due to the drywall/plaster finisher applying uneven amounts of mud resulting in a wavy appearance from top to bottom, one side compared to the other. Additionally, the center of the corner may have irregularities. A review and scraping often time is in order prior to paint. Wiping off of excess caulk as in this situation is in order after one is satisfied with the final result for, any excess clear caulk may be picked up by the paint and leave a sheen to the finished surface. However, I've often come across corners that are so unprofessional that I have had to rely on more caulk filler to get things in order before the final touch such as you've so aptly demonstrated. In such cases I've had to negotiate my paint line side-to-side to give the illusion of a straight differentiation when standing back a bit. In these cases the Frogtape delicate surface tape comes out and can be used after about an hour or so. -Time consuming but that's what it takes with me behind the brush.

It's a good idea to still use caulk over the top, because, tape alone doesn't do as well over texture or where drywall has humps and valleys. Caulk will "level" somewhat the inconsistencies in texture. Minimizing the paint seepage in the "valleys".

So is clear caulk the same as white caulk?

@kritsonthebeat 8 ай бұрын

Would normal white caulk work the same? I cant seem to find any clear caulk to purchase 😞

@spencercolgan 8 ай бұрын

No. The white caulk will only work if one of the colors of paint is white. If you have white caulk, you’re going to have your two paint colors plus the edge of the white caulk. You Need clear caulk.

@spencercolgan I see. Thanks so much for the reply! Is there another alternative I could use instead in this case? I read somewhere using a damp cloth may help give the same effect but not sure how well that will work
