The grout sinks down.

Hello

I have 2 mitered boards that I have glued and pocket screwed together. After this, I applied a latex caulk. Once it dried, the caulk has sunk a few millimeters into the gap.
The question is, what am I doing wrong?
I'm using Beckers' version of latex caulk.

That latex and other liquid filling materials shrink a bit when drying can be considered normal.

Keep adding more.

Ok. Is there a better method than using latex?

Should these boards be painted? Outside or inside?
Try sealing again and it will last for a while. 1-2 years...

Use a good acrylic caulk next time. It doesn't shrink as much as latex.

The boards will be painted, indoors.
Ok. It was those at the brödgården who recommended latex sealant but then I'll try acrylic sealant instead

The best way is to cut the joint so tightly that you don't need any latex or acrylic. No thin joint will look good over time when the wood moves.

That would be the most optimal, but since I have a Biltema miter saw, it's impossible to get it 100% perfect (I have to blame something).
Maybe I should skip caulking, and prime a little more.

If you cut the left molding on the left side of the saw and the right one on the right side, the saw can essentially cut at any angle as long as the saw blade operates in a plane (which it almost has to, since it rotates) and you can still achieve a "completely tight" joint. So don't blame the saw

If you saw the left strip on the left side of the saw and the right one on the right side, the saw can essentially cut at any angle as long as the saw blade works in one plane (which it almost has to, since it rotates), and you can still get a "completely tight" joint. So don't blame the saw

Ok. The wood is twisted
Haha, well I understand that it's the handling that's lacking, I'll try to think a little extra on the next cut hehe
