What happens here

After all hexagon panels are secured, apply paintable caulk around the entire perimeter of the accent wall and along all inner seams between the hexagons. Use a damp rag to wipe away excess caulk and smooth the lines for a clean finish, as caulk can become sticky if it dries. Next, fill all visible brad nail holes with wood putty. The video recommends using a color-changing wood filler that applies pink and turns tan when dry and ready to sand, making it easier to identify when it's cured.

Goal: Apply paintable caulk around the perimeter of each hexagon and along all seams, then fill all brad nail holes with wood putty. This prepares the surface for a smooth paint finish.
