How To Paint a DECK the Right Way!

What happens here

To effectively caulk windowsills when repainting walls and sills without waiting for caulk to fully dry, first apply the initial coat of paint, leaving a slight gap (about 1/16th of an inch) from where the caulk will be applied. Once the first paint coat is dry, apply the caulk. After the caulk is applied, apply the second coat of paint over both the painted surface and the fresh caulk. This method prevents paint from 'bridging' between surfaces and ensures a clean, long-lasting seal.

Goal: Achieve a clean caulk line during repainting without extended drying times

Harbor if you read my articles the same thing Tory Stansberry ass 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
