It does help, but now I think I'll leave most of the painting up to the painters, lol. And ones I personally trust and watch, question and ask to leave if I have to. I am going to try to patch up some of the holes in the rest of the apartment, maybe even prime before the next painter gets here. And then if I see I can't do it, I'll just pay the extra dollars for the painter to do it. Probably will be money well spent. I really do believe that I should have a contract with a half-pay and full-pay thing in it, just in case I'm unhappy part way through the job, but I can't think of how I can do this. As I'm thinking out loud, I'm thinking that I ought to do it room by room? or room by room and look over each step such as patching and priming and then painting and make a decision after each step is completed. And have that in writing, of course.

As I commented in an earlier post a lot of caulks will say paintable and stainable most of the time it's bunk.the only way to be sure is take some scrap material use the product as the manufacturer states then try your painting or staining on the product.This test is the best other than just go for it and start backpeddleing to fix a f up.hope this helps,jeff

Many silicone caulks are not paint compatible. Paint will dry by
stretching across it but not really stick to it.
