This step is optional but highly recommended for a professional-looking result. Apply painter's tape along the top and bottom edges of where the caulk bead will be, leaving a gap of approximately 2-4 millimeters (about 0.08-0.16 inches) for the caulk. This creates a guide, ensuring a perfectly straight line for your caulk application. Carefully press down the tape to ensure it adheres firmly to the surface.
