Once all the battens are securely in place, use wood putty to fill in all visible nail holes. Apply the putty smoothly and allow it to dry completely, then sand if necessary for a flush finish. Next, use a caulk gun to apply a bead of all-purpose caulk (e.g., White Lightning 3006 Ultra) along all seams where the battens meet the wall and where batten pieces meet each other. Smooth the caulk with a wet finger or a caulking tool to ensure clean, tight seals and a professional appearance.
