What happens here
Once the seam is clean, apply a continuous, even bead of white caulk along the junction where the baseboard meets the wall. The video shows a squeeze tube caulk being used, which allows for direct application without a caulk gun. After applying the caulk, use a caulk tool or a wet finger to smooth the bead, creating a clean, consistent line and pressing the caulk firmly into the gap.
Goal: Seal the gap between the baseboard and the wall with caulk.
