What happens here
Begin by cleaning the area where the caulk will be applied, ensuring it is free of dust and debris. Then, use a caulk gun to apply a continuous bead of caulk along the seam where two pieces of existing trim or siding meet at the gable's corner. The caulk, specifically a white sealant, is used to fill any gaps and provide a weather-tight seal against moisture infiltration.
Goal: Seal gaps in existing gable seams for weatherproofing.
