@6ixty8ights I know what you mean. I winced when I saw him doing that.

I thought this was gonna turn into a slasher flick.

shame

use bondo the caulk is for the corners.

miter looks like shit and don't use caulk to fill in nail holes - use painters putty. caulk shrinks to much. these wannabes don't know that though!

[HSTrueMan]

Better cut that tip opening bigger to fill in the HUUUUUUUUGE corner gap from that lousy miter cut.....Step into my office....YOU"RE FIRED !!!

use ur finger and wipe it on a wet rag, when ur finger is wet it gives u a smoother caulk joint =]

[biolkw]

Wow, this was VERY good. I am a single female, and I knew (kinda) what to do, but this really helped! You should set up weekly sessions for women! :)

[sralmy]

Thanks man. That looks pretty easy. Im going to do basically my whole house around the molding in the next few days. Seeing this gave me a bit of confidence for the upcomming job. Thanks : )
