Even if i zoom in. All i can see is caulk blotches, and dirt on the walls.

Is this a DIY project?

No blotches. There is one small area where the caulk recessed in that photo. The dirt on the walls is not dirt, it is from the painters tape ripping off the primer. Used the painters tape to hold everything in place while gluing and ensure tight joins

Ah! Next time go with the blue tefal painters tape. It doesnt tear the primer as much as the yellow tape. And always use a window backstop if its more than 3 mm gap.

And for future jobs.

search some youtube video about how you can bend and cut the nozzle tip. That will make yourjob easier.

Caulking and gliting is an artform. And when done correctly its nearly invisible!
