Wall prep for painting

[Sean Troy]

Hey all, My shop walls are OSB and I wondering what would be best to use to fill in those little gaps between some of the joints of the OSB. I'd like to paint them (walls)after filling the gaps.

I used a tube, or 2:rolleyes:, of the paintable caulk from Home Depot when I did mine. It's the Alex caulk in the white and blue tube. Has worked well for me over the years. Jim.

Sean,

I just came in to eat supper and then back to painting my shop walls. I just finished priming the ceiling. I have plywood on the walls and I used acrylic paintable caulk to fill those little cracks and crevices. I have about 50% of the walls left to prime and finish paint. Hopefully by Monday I"m done and then on to building cabinets....

Just some caulk is all I used.

I use latex caulk from the Borg, prime with polyvinyl acetate (PVA), the primer used on raw Sheetrock and finish with semigloss latex paint.

Thanks for the help. Caulk it is.
