Apply and Smooth Clear Caulk

this step. Now this is where the secret of getting a laser straight line comes into play. So we got our uh frog tape on the wall here. And for instance, this could be a stripe in a bedroom or this could be your trim where it meets the wall. But say if we're trying to make a laser straight line in a kid's bedroom. Now, um I'm going to be painting this side. This is where my wall color is going to stay, but I'm going to be painting this side. So, I'm going to take and just put a nice small bead of cocking right over where this edge of my tape is, my frog tape. Now, I'm going to take that and I'm going to wipe off. I'm going to just push it down and wipe off all this excess. And what you're actually doing is pushing that clear cocking and smearing it right along the edge of your frog tape right here to actually add an additional seal to that frog tape. And part of this, the key of this process is is to not let that clear cocking dry before you paint it. You're gonna want to paint over that before it dries. And then the next very key step is to actually pull your tape before the paint dries or the cocking dries. Cuz if you leave it set on there and the paint dries, what happens if you're using a satin paint? The paint is going to bridge from the tape to the wall. And when you go to peel off your tape, you could uh pull off some of the actual paint and it's going to leave a jagged line. So, the key steps to this is to smear on the clear cocking and and try to get all of it off. All you want is just that edge sealed right there and get all the excess of that cocking off. Just wipe it on a wet rag. I like to actually use a wet rag, wipe the excess cocking that I have on a wet rag and then begin the painting process. And don't do too much cocking. If you're doing a whole lot of area or a lot of lines or a lot of trim, if you do too much and the cocking dries before you get to painting it, then the process isn't going to work. So now, while my
