        "text": "Yes, proper preparation is key for a durable and attractive finish, especially in a bathroom environment. After installation, molding should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dust or debris. All nail holes are filled with appropriate wood putty, and seams are caulked with a moisture-resistant sealant to prevent water intrusion. If using raw wood or composite molding, it will need to be primed with a high-quality, moisture-blocking primer. This preparation ensures the paint adheres well, provides a smooth surface, and offers enhanced protection against humidity.",
