How To Paint a DECK the Right Way!

What happens here

A viewer asks how to caulk windowsills when repainting sills and walls if the caulk cannot dry. Chris refers to a video he recently made about caulking and taping methods. He explains his technique: painting the surface, staying about 1/16th of an inch away from the caulk line for the first coat. Once the first coat is dry, he applies caulk to the tape, applies the second coat of paint, and then removes the tape before the caulk and paint fully dry to prevent bridging.

Goal: Chris describes a two-coat painting method that allows for caulking in between coats without waiting for the caulk to fully dry.

like a video on that so my I did one just recently up caulking and the home method about coffee near tape and stuff so and it goes into depth and in detail so and he's probably talked about like you've got to run your mouth scheme then say you're going to be painting your surface but you've got to do two coats and we always paint you know our surface stay away from the caulking you know like about a sixteenth of an inch and that's our first coat and then our second coat we go cockpit tape and this is only where the caulking is necessary and like a window sill that would be kind of like the case so can you paint huffing you sure can and so we've been doing it for at least 15 years with fabulous results it's you never had an issue you never been a problem but get down close to your tape you've that first close gonna dried then you copped your tape put your second coat on pull your tape before your coffee and your paint dries or you will have a issue with bridging itself there you go wow
