What happens here

After the second primer coat is dry, it's time to caulk the gaps and seams. Load the Tower Accura Siliconized Acrylic Latex Caulk into a caulking gun. Apply a consistent bead of caulk along all seams, corners, and gaps in the door jamb and window trim. Use a wet sponge or your wet finger to smooth the caulk bead, ensuring a clean and sealed finish. This product is elastomeric, allowing for flexibility and preventing future cracking.

Goal: Seal all gaps and cracks in the trim for a smooth, waterproof finish.

[Music] all right now my door's ready to caulk and typically when i'm caulking a door jam and i want my caulking to look really nice i um do what i call sponge caulking and i use a sponge to wet my finger and that gives me the ability to lay out my caulking and get a really nice smooth bead especially on a warm day like this too it gives you more working time with your caulking the caulking has a tendency to dry really fast on warm days so it's always good to have more working time and you can just smooth off the excess off your finger i'm going to put a pretty heavy bead of caulking on here because the doors pretty banged up beat up and the caulking this caulking dries really fast too so i'm going to be able to start painting this side of the building we're going to spray this door let's see what this thing looks like here soon
