Begin by applying painter's tape to define the caulk lines. Place one strip of painter's tape along the tub or floor edge and another strip along the wall, leaving a consistent, small gap between them where the caulk will be applied. This creates a clean, straight line for your caulk bead. For easier removal, slightly fold over a small end piece of the tape on one side, making it easier to grab later. The video demonstrates applying tape to both surfaces (floor and wall) bordering the joint.
