Pulled off a clean edge on a tricky staircase form

The forms were old and warped, so I spent extra time sealing them with foam backer rod. When we stripped it, the lines were sharp with no blowouts. Really proud of that attention to detail paying off.

Used foam backer rod on a warped door jamb and got perfect edges too.

Typical door jamb stuff is the worst, but @tylerburns out here pulling off wizardry with foam rope.

Seriously, that foam rod trick is a total game changer. Saves so much headache on wonky jambs.

I read somewhere that foam backer rod is mainly for concrete gaps before caulking. That was a smart move from @tylerburns to use it on a door jamb instead. It makes total sense for filling uneven spots behind trim on warped wood.
