What happens here
The final step before priming and painting is to caulk any gaps between the door trim and the wall. Load a tube of paintable caulk into a caulk gun. Carefully apply a continuous bead of caulk along all seams where the trim meets the drywall. Immediately after applying, use a damp sponge or your finger to smooth the caulk bead, creating a clean, seamless transition. The video shows 'Big Stretch' caulk being used, known for its flexibility.
