What happens here
After sanding and cleaning the baseboards, apply caulk to seal any gaps between the top edge of the baseboards and the wall, and also along any inside corners or where different pieces of baseboard meet. Use a caulking gun to apply a continuous, even bead of caulk, then smooth it with a wet finger or a caulking tool for a clean, professional line.
Goal: Seal gaps between baseboards and walls for a clean, finished appearance.
