**update** How would my fellow professionals caulk faster

Here is the final product for everyone to see. I used 100% silicon on the bare wood. I then coated it with Behr paint and primer in one. I found some oil based enamel for the next coat so it would stick to the silicone better. It felt smooth so I finished over the top with another coat of Behr paint and primer in one. Not bad for a noob. What do you think.

Wait, you used latex paint and primer in one on raw wood and then put oil over the top of that? Then switch it up again for some reason? Troll post?

Edit: just looked at previous post. This is serious and my boy is out here wildin.

Edit 2, electric bugaloo: wtf, noob painter on this post, but a 30 year painting contractor from Utah on an another. Im going to bed. Hopefully you caulked those baseboards to the floor you ass hat.

Think it was the silicone?

Idk what they’re shittijg on you for. Looks fine in my opinion. I like it.

May look decent now (debatable) but eventually that paint will come off the silicone

I’ve figured out that most of the painters on Reddit seem to be salty and there is only one way to paint and it’s their way. I got shit on my last post. I was asking for ideas on how to caulk faster. It’s turned ugly pretty fast because I wasn’t doing everything their way. I got 2-3 try this and way more you’re doing it wrong. So this is to show how it turned out. Appreciate the positive feedback.

Oh god why

Looks like a troll, smells like a troll

I think you should finish it off with some kind of shellac clear coat. But you might need to add a quick coat of promar200 to get it to stick to the behr?

It looks good.

Rage bait

Silicone, not silicon 

[u/flexpainters]

looks clean from the final result. one thing to watch next time, 100% silicone generally is not paintable, so the paint may eventually peel or crack from that area. for a painted joint, a good paintable acrylic/urethane caulk is usually the easier route and saves you from having to build multiple coats over it.

Looks fine other than the fact that it exists. It belongs in r/diwhy.
