What happens here

This DIY project details the process of caulking baseboards in a closet using 'Big Stretch' caulk and a sponge smoothing method, after initial spackling and sanding. The goal is to fill gaps, creating a seamless finish in preparation for painting, particularly in areas where surfaces may not be perfectly square or plumb.
