Caulking Your Tape. Paint Like a Level 1 Master.

What happens here

For another section of trim (around a mirror), the presenter uses Tower Tech 2 Clear caulk. Apply a small, tight bead of clear caulk along the masked edge. The clear caulk 'wets' the edge of the tape, creating a strong seal and ensuring no paint bleeds under the tape. Although clear caulk generally allows for more working time than white caulk, it still needs to be smoothed and managed effectively.

Tools and materials

  • Caulk Gun — Applying the clear caulk bead
  • FrogTape Green Painter's Tape FrogTape — Protecting adjacent surfaces and creating a clean edge
  • Tower Tech 2 Clear Caulk Tower — The clear caulk applied to the mirror trim

versus when the paint dries I've got this cut in to do right here so power of accelator small tiny bead once again all this is doing is really wetting the edge of the seal the white cocking is drier than the clear so you don't have as much working time I can feel it's like drying really fast it's partly why you can paint over it right
