I’m a professional painter and if you have a steady hand, just cut it!
This guys got to be …
This guys got to be kidding. Use a Purdy and leave your caulk for a real caulk project.
For me, it’s not so …
For me, it’s not so much the caulk and tape; it’s the guy working sitting on his acs. If I saw one of my men doing that he’s gone. On your knees maybe, but no sitting, he looks like the amateur that he is. Also, a four inch roller and brush would help; roll on a section, then brush it out – saves a ton of time. This Expert Village has more than one idiot.
u gotta be kidding …
u gotta be kidding me taping and caulking ??… wow 50 years later u got yourself nicely painted baseboards lol. man i find the painting videos on youtube are terrible i am bored so i wanna see the noob paints lol
I will say this …
I will say this only once. Painters tape is used only for roller spray. If one of my painters uses tape to cut a straight line I would send him home immediatly.
You think I’d take …
You think I’d take decorating advice from someone who let his barber [does he have one/] do that to his hair?
Pleeeeease.

thanks $150 here i come!!
this guy is a tool. …
this guy is a tool. why would you even bother to tape the wall when painting skirtings. you should used the caulk before you painted the walls. obviously this guy is not a painter, he must be just a handyman.
its beter to just …
its beter to just paint the molding white even if its not a straight line… let them dry and then cut in with the walls color… i find it much easier that way less time applying tape and caulk…
the only place that i use that calking technique is on ceilings where wall turns into a kitchens ceiling
Not trying to be …
Not trying to be smart,but it’s pronounced caulk NOT Cock.
Wesley, you are …
Wesley, you are wrong. Blue painters tape can/will rip the wall paint off. It is too strong a tape.
This can happen when
1) it’s humid and the wallpaint has not dried (two weeks)
2) the tape has been left in place too long. Painters tape is meant to be applied and quickly removed, not left for weeks.
3) the subsurface is poorly adhered.
This can happen with plasters, join compounds, paints, all kinds of stuff. Not everybody lives in a paperboard house.
A trained painter …
A trained painter will show you how to cut in.
depending on the …
depending on the grade of tape you use mongoloid, if you buy tape from the newsagent, and your paint is old, and only if it is old, it will pull the tape off.
Green or blue low tac tape will not pull the paint off.
know what yourtalking about before putting a stupid commend up
…never use …
…never use masking tape on walls! It will pull the wall paint off.
