hello let's go dude yeah gulika Chris right yes I pull the head plate behave doing our painting company what the hell go on I'm shooting a video what do you do we shoot the video on the bottom of your house there's no Peter sorry you're not doing our painting I'm not oh damn this Chris the Idaho painter in this video I'm going to teach you how to sponge talk and spackle your trim to get it ready to paint this is a new construction job got some interior trim doors installed and now you've got to go to do the prepping process to paint it if you want to do this right it's a sponge coffee method and a spackling method I'm going to teach you how to do it right now so now I have this door jamb my hair it's a bad mood or gem installed and this is going to pertain to any type of baseboards or crown molding the coffee and spackling method and I typically use like a Crawford spackle an interior and exterior spackle this one right here is just a staff like that but I like Crawford's it dries really hard Sam's really well you're also going to want a sanding sponge I get a sanding sponge up here that I've used I you like a medium sanding sponge and that's used when you do your spackling when this stuff is nailed on just be nail holes you're get a lot of spackle it let it dry and then sand it when it comes to the caulking I just get myself a coffee gun I like caulking guns with ratchets I'm going to use white coffee two coffees and then I have a sponge and this is going to be a wet sponge and dip it in a bucket bucket water and keep it really wet and this sponge is actually so I can keep my hands wet and I can actually get a really smooth bead of caulking on here so here we go so the stock like method is very simple but it's just a matter of just getting enough spatula on there and fill that hole precedent I like to just take and put it on there press it a couple times and then wipe it clean with the knife once that dries I'm going to just lightly go over it with my Sam sanding sponge so they go around spatter all this stuff it's always easy easy associating a door jamb just to remove the hinges and the doors always remove all that type of hardware and stuff and begin working with a clean slate I haven't removed it right now because I'm just shooting this video this is going to go long and just Sparkle all these things and here's another trick if you run into any clothes when you're sparkling where you actually feel the nail there's a nail set that we actually use some spring tools right here I'll show you this nail set you have a nail that's sticking out you'll just take for instance this one right here just going to set this on there just pull the tool and just knock it you know actually just not that nail aunts always keep one of these things in my pocket to set in and nails that weren't driven in all the way so just factly right along I'm gonna give you another really cool tip here and after spackling it after if you if you're going to go ahead and paint it what happens is you actually see very very faintly where those spackle spots are and if you're really detail-oriented if you really want those things to go away we use a product called bondo glazing putty and it's the red glazing on the red glazing buddy from bondo we'll just put that on there with our same spackle knife just like it into a spackle and then you Sam that and then once you paint it you'll never ever see any of those nail heads ever put in the trim so when it comes to actually doing my sponge coughing method the steps that you're going to want to start off with you're going to get your door if you get if you're doing a door you don't want to remove the door remove the hardware but if you got crown molding or baseboards you're doing any type of trim you don't have to worry about removing anything but the process is you're always going to want to actually do your spackling first you're going to want to spackle it sand it if you're going to do the bondo trick you completely eliminate your nail has then you'll bondo it and then sand that and then you begin to copy process is what happens if you don't want to caulk this whole door jamb and then and then if you try to do this faculty you may hit the caulking with your spackle knife and mess that popping up or you could caulk it all let it dry for a day and then come back and spackle it but we typically spackle first do our sponge copy and then get ready to paint and once this stuff is painting you can see this trim right here this is pre prior trend that inside the door jamb is actually very wood once we get it all prepped we're actually going to prime it and we always spray two coats of primer on and then we spray two coats of the top coat that were actually putting on it now if you go through this whole process your trims going to look extremely nice it's going to look like a professional bidat it's going to have that automobile finish and it's going to have that quality look to it you can have Richard do this quality trim you're going to right and paint it do a quality job this will look brand new just like a brand new million-dollar home so when it comes to caulking your trim any type of trim you're going to want to get your coffee that got some white coffee right here it's just white latex coffee got a caulking gun you're going to cut your bead on your caulking gun at a nice little angle right here if you don't want it really big you don't want it really flat just a nice small cut in an angle to make installing the caulking a lot easier and I'm just going to lay out a bead on the door jamb and then I'm going to use my sponge to begin wiping it and then wipe the excess onto this sponge right here and so I'm just going to it typically would take a whole door jamb right here I'm going to caulk most of the door jamb and then begin wiping it off but you're just going to take take it and put a nice little bead of caulking on there and then I just take and wet my finger and then I'll begin wiping the excess out of a sponge and they'll start just smoothing it out I want to just use my finger wipe off the excess on my sponge just use the pad of my finger to get a nice smooth bead on there okay this is about the outside of the door jamb work on the inside of the door jamb once I get the inside done this is the outside right here where it meets the wall and this is going to be just the same as the baseboards if you got baseboards installed I'm just going to take get my the caulking gun its angle I want to lay that angle on there lay my feet out and then I'm just going to lightly push on it get a nice bead of caulking wipe the excess on my sponge and now I got a nice smooth bead of caulking it's really important to have a wet sponge or wet rag to keep your fit your hands what I call nice and lubricated trying to give you another look at this door down I'll just get the coffee in lay out my caulking on here with my coffee gun and then I'll begin working my corner right here smoothing it out and I like to just get that thing nice that corner up here nice and fill out I'm just going to keep working it right here smoothing it out too nice smooth finish right there so this is kind of our actually doing this sponge coffee and it does take practice but if you actually have you know keep your hands wet keep your sponge wet you have a lot of working time to continue to play with this if you don't get it just right just take and put some more caulking on there and then you can actually just redo it but you just want to keep it wet once it starts to dry and clammy late then you're not going to have any more working time you're not going to be able to go over it once I get this thing all coughing all spackle then we're going to get to the actual painting process now we had Richard and install your trim it's going to do a really high-quality job and you want a really high quality paint job and if you're going to attempt to brush and roll it it's not going to look nearly nearly as good as if you actually sprayed it we actually never ever brush a roll our trim we always spray it and if you want to just go get yourself in Paris where if you've never used one you can go check out a lot of my videos how to operate an airless sprayer it's simple I'll teach you how you can actually just spray your trim so it looks like a professional thing so I'm gonna try to give you a look what it looks like Mike you're going to closet right here now I'm just be doing this caulking and I got this back when it's not done and I just want to show you how we go about copying it first so I'm just going to run my betta coffee make sure you got that angle on your talked we've got a cut right lay the angle on there they're talking at angle just right lay that talking out everywhere right here just like that now I'm going to be getting sponge talking it with my sponge so the whole trick I'm actually talking it and getting in there is actually you'll got cut on your caulking tube itself get that cut in a nice 45 degree angle just make it a small hole in there and then it's going to lay out a nice bead now I'm just going to begin sponge talking it just working it with my finger just keeping a wet finger and just working it if your fingers wet you've got a whole lot of working time you can make a really nice bead now I like to get my corner dried hair like going to be nice and full I don't wipe out too much of the coffee I like them to be nice and full you can see I'll just keep wiping my hand keeping my finger new brocaded on my sponge just like that now you just let that dry and begin my next step so here's a look at the spackle you process pretty simple I'm just going to go right along here and begin my sad way but you got any of these nail heads that are volcano and actually for tubing out you can just take your spotlight and just scrape them off make sure they're nice and flat and then I'll just continue spackling all this stopper wing dries extremely fast I'm going to come back and sand it so the sanding process on our stacking bowls is very simple on his tape by three nail sanding sponge medium sandals bumper so lightening over any of the spot size spackle just to get a nice and flat here's a look at just inside my closet and the salmon these faculae this spackling sands really easy once again have a nice flat sanding sponge and this a nice bun is actually soft so if you've got crown molding it will actually curve in any type of curb edges and stuff if there's any nails and then the curves so all these steps that I've shown you here these will actually apply to any type of copying or spackling any type of trim including crown molding just do this method just take your time it's a simple process easy to learn what if you're doing you're still in the video this is Christy Ottawa painter hopefully you've enjoyed this method of coffee dance faculty your trim eat they're ready to
