Prime Caulking Before Painting?

ezygo

Have lurked here for over a year with this being my first post. I appreciate the wealth of the great information which has helped me through some rather difficult projects.

With that, in most cases, I use SW 950 caulk and have always primed it before painting both interior and exterior. My compadre says I'm prolly wasting my time. What does everyone else think? Am I burning hours or do you believe the priming to be necessary?

Thanks in advance,
Karl

No need to prime in most cases

Years ago if you didnot prime first caulking would flash big time especialy on interior work. Like Slick said would not worry so much about it now just make sure its dry...........

If you don't prime the wood
before you caulk, then you've
got a problem.
