You should play around with it and see what works best for you. There’s generally never just one right way to do anything.

Yes I have tried painters caulk.

In my experience with painters caulk, the caulk can dry leaving some small pointy and sharp edges, don’t forget to trim them down and touch up those areas. Another thing about caulk is that during the drying process the caulk will shrink or sink into the pits and require additional applications.

Putty works best as the post suggests. A painter once recommended using Bondo. The stuff they use on cars. I’ve tried that technique and the fumes can make you nautious and lingers so make sure the room is well ventilated. His reasoning was that when bondo dries it’s sandable and is prone to shrinking. I’m not an expert but I’ve tried it once and I weren’t real happy with my result.

I’ve searched all over the internet for your lovely tip.

You’re the final piece of the puzzle to my frameless cabinet project. I’ve been wondering if it were necessary to edgeband a frameless cabinet when I’m going to paint them.

In the past I tried the reverse and had a terrible experience. Your write up makes complete sense. I wish I found your page sooner!!

Thank you thank you!
