How to fill gaps with caulk

[maxpower]

I never remember, am I supposed to lick my finger before I touch the caulk or after?

I'm a painter and I damn near punched my monitor.

Bro, everyone knows you have to fill big gaps like that with newspaper first. Then use the tip of your boot to spread the caulk so you don't hurt your back bending down.

You don't caulk that area, you put quarter round there with hardwood flooring

Thanks, Richard, for taking the time ....sharing your passion, really..and providing what has to be the most compelling and inspiring tutorial I’ve ever seen demonstrating the professional approach to the art of caulking. I don’t know who your production team is but obviously the lighting, the camera angle, the panning to smoothly keep pace with the breakneck action was accomplished by those with vast video-graphic experience. The directors decision to go sans- monologue was an inspired choice. Less is more, so to speak. I could go on but my dog is staring at me. I think he has to go outside and take a shit.

Looks great and you can upcharge the hundred tubes of caulking you used

[Speedstack]

The gentle blend into the flooring is a nice touch 😂. I was waiting for you to start laughing and rip the old baseboard out.

[MegaMeco]

so the right thing to do is to move the baseboard down . and chaulk and paint the top, but if you have to resort to this, either use backer rod or shove plastic bags or something to fill the back so you don’t go through 20 tubes of chaulking for 5 feet .

Just to work at Dairy Queen before he became a Master Caulker

Probably some of your best work to date. I see a whole new aspect of your business fixing up run down apartments for $20/hr.

This is categorically the worst caulking I have ever seen in my life, good gracious.

Someone send them a video on how to clean your floors and baseboards

[Seastone]

Yesss!!! The ol' caulk reveal.. Classic, tasteful.

[michaelkitchen]

Now that you got caulk, halfway across the floorboard, instead of pushing it into the crack. Well done.

[ridik]

Great tip thanks, it worked awesome, even filled bigger gaps where the floor was cut wrong.

Beautiful casing base...along with your caulk job...marvelous

Yep looks good from the landlords bank account. On a real note, I hate HATE people that want work done and want it done fast, cheap and crappy. I was working with this investment place as a contractor repairing stuff. They lied and said they have a “few” section 8 house. They wanted these lists done for inspection just scabbed together. I can not and will not do work like that. I get it, low income housing = low profit = not a lot of money put into it but that’s the game they got into. You take money in from a different place and put it into the ones that need it. The one house they had a guy that took the clean out cap off the sewer stack and it flooded the basement with sewage. The section 8 inspector said it had to be cleaned up. Cleaned meaning physically remove the solid sewage matter and then sanitize the area. They said “dump bleach on it” and the section 8 inspector said that’s not how it’s done. I quoted the investment place that contracts me a quarter of what the local people that do that type of work charge, you know save some money having a guy in house to do it. They said no to my quote and offered the tenants 60$ to clean it up! Unreal! Of course the tenants aren’t gonna do it proper and they shouldn’t be doing it to start! The fact the sanitary sewer clean out cap was left off was a major problem to start with the company as they let something like that happen. Those sewer gases are poisonous and flammable and can lead to an explosion. Then they want the tenant to clean it up? I’m no longer dealing with those people. They want everything done yesterday and they want it done cheap and they don’t want to pay me for my time. My work truck gets 8 miles to the gallon on a good day. Put it in the city with all the stop and go, forget it. Add that to the shot roads and time it takes to get anywhere in that awful city while beating in my truck just normally driving in that war zone while not paying for my time, fuel, tools, wear and tear and skill and it’s over. I went a little off course with this comment but I’m super mad at this whole experience. These house they own and rent under section 8 all have kids in them and the people who get section 8 aren’t usually start citizens to start. They let these places go so bad until section 8 says it’s gotta be fixed and then it’s a massive undertaking instead of a simple maintenance call it could have been if they regularly checked the houses and repaired what needed fixed when it’s still small. And the lead paint… All of a sudden now I have to meet with the lead paint inspectors, on top of throwing in dealing with section 8 inspectors, and wanting me to abate lead paint all for free because I’m already there. They wanted me to wipe the lead paint down with fabulouso cleaner right before the inspector showed up so it would supposedly pass. Unreal… Kids, small children in the place and that’s their choice action to resolve the lead paint problem? And they want me to do it for free on top of the list of other stuff they want all done super fast. Scheduling me to be at two different places at the same time. They wanted me to replace a drywall bathroom ceiling, kitchen floor, fix 3 bedroom doors that were kicked open and beyond repair, clean up lead paint, replace kitchen cabinets with used ones and do all this other stuff in one day on top of being in two places at once. I’m done with it. I feel bad for the people staying at those places but it’s not my problem. The inspector told me the company os the absolute worst he’s ever dealt with. And with section 8 housing, that is a big statement.
