Vinyl Spackle (DAP or White Lightning) or Joint Compound. I've googled my eyeballs out and would love some feedback from those who have filled and taped the seams.
The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest, and most beautiful of all.
I have the wood paneling so its got vertical grooves every 6 inches or so. It would look funny to have no groove every 4 feet where the panels meet. The former owner of my house used a vinyl caulk between the panels and it still looks great after 3 years. No seperation at all and there is lots of flexing in the house. I imagine it's a whole lot easier to caulk the seam rather than tape and mud.
I think it would be important not to be smeary with the stuff because it could show a different texture in the final paint finish (keep the caulk in the groove not on the panel).
