Window Masking and Caulking

cardboard shield so we did have a wood support beam right here customer did not want that painted just quickly wrapped a piece of nine inch paper around that and then drop plastic over that to cover this any overspray dust fallout just to protect that so it doesn't get you know anything on it all right i'm masking a window right here and we're going to be caulking same day that we spray this thing so um one really good tip is tower makes a caulking that you can put on and you can spray immediately and you can even spray it with flat paints and it won't crack so if the product is called accelerator so you can this with accelerator spray it pull it if you're going to be brushing and rolling you can actually brush or roll over the accelerator caulking within 30 minutes so it's an awesome product if you want to paint over your caulking immediately but there's kind of a gap in this window that the drywallers didn't fill we want that to look crisp and clean so we're going to mask mask it with frog tape and right before i spray it i'm going to it spray it and pull the masking while it's still wet but i ran just frog tape around the edges so i don't get any bleeding on my bronze window now i'm just going to drop plastic over it so sometimes i do like to you know run my masking you know first around the edges if i want to make sure i'm getting a perfectly straight line i know it does cost a little bit more you know and masking but we're just you know talking know pennies to um to you know ensure that you get a really really straight line so now i'm just going to fold my excess up underneath always pay particular attention to your corners that there's no leaks so i can see there's a leak right here in this corner make sure it's all tacked down a lot quicker to tape and ensure there's no leaks than to have to clean up overspray
