great caulking good product to use if you're using flat paints what happens with flat paints if you paint over your tape allow it to dry on your tape and allow it to dry on the wall and you pull your tape and it would typically give you a crisp clean line well why is that well flat paints don't have nearly the amount of acrylic in it that a satin does or a semi-gloss and it does because that's what gives the build the paint the the flexible enough the flex flexibility the stretch ability it gives it the durability the washability and that's why typically flat paints aren't washable they're not very durable you scrub them and they're not very scrubbable the paint comes right off the wall and by nature they're just not as much a resin or acrylic in that paint and so it will actually when you pull the tape it will like snap and they'll still pull in a straight line so um using flat tapes a lot more for our flat paints a lot more forgiving so
