Applying caulk is the perfect way to fill gaps and create seamless transitions between sinks, tile, or trim boards and the adjacent wall. But if you’ve ever tried doing it yourself, you may have found that applying a clean bead can be tricky. Luckily, you can solve that problem with simple painter’s tape.
