Measuring the First Caulk Bead

What happens here

Following the initial demonstrations of caulk application, a participant uses a tape measure to accurately determine the length of the first (blue) continuous caulk bead that was applied and smoothed. The tape measure is carefully extended along the bead from its starting point to its end, and the measurement is verbally confirmed to be "within half an inch" of the 24-inch target. This step provides the first feedback on accuracy, illustrating the importance of precise measurement in the challenge.

Goal: Determine the length of the first caulk bead
