Hi James,
We don't want him to use caulk so it's a bit of a non-issue but a bit about a feathered edge: It's all about the substrate preparation, the sealant being applied, the applicator's knowledge and the tooling of the product. You're right, the average Joe should avoid feathering but we have offered Scott a means of dealing with those potential concerns. A cutback will penetrate the paper pulp better than straight up and if it is cleaned properly first, a feathering won't be a problem here. Working in and around a surround can be awfully tricky to mask off and it's taking at chance at delaminating some of the cone if you use anything other than frog tape.
I think he'll be just fine.
Cheers.
