Drywall/ wood gap

[Boom_]

Hey! Have this gap between the drywall and where the garage door is mounted on wood. How do I fill it? I'm new to this. Thinking I'd fill it, sand it, paint it. Something like that?

I'd probably just caulk it and be done, but that's just me.

Paintable caulking. Radius with a finger, then paint.

Wow. You guys know your stuff. So helpful. Thanks!

Winner.

I also mask the edges prior to caulking, this gives a nice straight line, after caulking remove the tape, let set and then paint.
All the best with it.

For an inside garage job like that just paintable latex caulk on the small cracks. Deep/wide gaps (over 1/4") I prefer a urethane caulk (np1, vulkum, etc..).

Best anyway to have a few tubes of each when doing that sorta stuff.

Do small cracks first then cut tube down for wider gaps. Finger is a great tool

For those big gaps, you can get foam rope....shove that into the crack and you can get by with less caulk.

I personally like the Alex caulk.....HD carries both.
