What happens here

After the spackle has thoroughly dried, sand all spackled areas and the entire surface of the baseboards. The video recommends using an Echo Sander 3x4 sander with 240-grit Filmtech flat sandpaper. Sanding ensures a smooth, even surface, removing any excess spackle and preparing the baseboards for painting. By sanding *before* caulking, you avoid damaging freshly applied caulk or waiting for it to cure (which can take 12-24 hours).

Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth surface on the baseboards after spackling.

What they say

Hide

sand. If you caulk first and then sand afterwards, you can damage the caulking or you've got to wait for the caulking to cure. And some caulking caulkings take, you know, 12 to 24 hours. So, spackle, sand, then we're going to caulk, and then we're going to paint. So, I've got my Echo sander 3x4 sander set up with 240 grit Filmtech flat cuz we're just sanding all the flat baseboards. The spackle's dry and ready
