What happens here
To achieve professional-looking results, first, apply Frog Tape along the top edge of the trim. Prior to the final cut-in, clear caulking will be applied along this taped edge to create perfectly crisp paint lines. Next, inspect the walls for any imperfections, such as rough stippling or spackled areas from previous repairs. Use a 360-degree pole sander to gently sand these rough spots until the wall surface is smooth. This step is crucial for achieving an even texture and a polished finish, especially in homes with 'Sun Valley texture' which can have scattered voids. Sand until the walls feel smooth like paper.
Goal: Mask the top of the trim with Frog Tape to prepare for caulking and sanding, ensuring a smooth, imperfection-free wall surface before painting.
