Smooth Caulk and Final Wipe-Down

What happens here

For the final step, the man uses a damp, yellow sponge to smooth the freshly applied caulk. He gently runs the sponge along each caulk bead, applying light pressure to press the caulk deeper into the gaps and wipe away any excess. This smoothing action creates a clean, feathered edge that seamlessly blends the baseboard with the adjacent wall and door frame. He periodically wipes the sponge clean on his paper drop cloth and continues smoothing until all caulked areas are neatly finished.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, neat, and professional finish on all caulked areas.
