<p>FORESTVILLE — When painting your home’s interior, knowing the right techniques can go a long way toward achieving a beautiful result. One such technique is using caulking to get clean lines when painting with different colors on adjacent walls and ceilings. Applying a bead of caulking to the seam where two sections meet (for example, where the ceiling meets the wall) will provide a smooth surface for cutting in with your paint, resulting in a nice, straight line.</p>
<p>Here are a few tips for caulking application:</p>
<ul>
<li>Always wipe the tip of your caulking gun prior to use.</li>
<li>As you apply caulking, press the gun’s tip against the seam and apply consistent pressure to the trigger. This will help you achieve an even bead.</li>
<li>Following application, go over the bead with a rag and use your finger to press it into the seam. This will give you a nice, smooth edge.</li>
<li>Give the caulking a few minutes to dry prior to cutting in with your paint.</li>
</ul>

painting and a professional tip for
having your interior paint project
performed smoothly efficiently from
start to finish with beautiful results
one of the aspects of achieving a high
quality paint job when painting
interiors with multiple colors on
ceiling and wall is to apply a bead of
caulking wherever the ceiling meets the
wall this will provide a smooth surface
for cutting in or brushing your wall
color with a very Chris straight line
even on an uneven surface so you'll
always want to wipe the tip of your
caulking gun prior to applique ting the
bead of caulking just like this and
you'll want to press it right into the
corner here of the ceiling in the walls
just like this and as you gently go
across the wall you'll want to pull the
trigger enough to apply an even bead of
caulking into that corner and crack just
like this once that is complete you'll
take your round and finger and wipe it
smooth into that crevice to fill it to
achieve a nice smooth edge as shown here
perfect now that will provide an even
surface for cutting in your accent color
once that's dried once your bead of
caulking has dried correctly into the
corner of the crack you'll want to take
a brush just like this and as we apply
paint to this corner you'll want to
slowly and gently work it into that
corner
just like that that's how you properly
pay an accent wall on an uneven or heavy
textured surface
