BT cable along skirting; caulk it?

[Adaptor]

Doing some decorating
There is a BT cable running halfway along skirting board; which tends to create a dust trap ;

Is it a good idea to caulk over the surface so it merges the cable with the skirting board and does not create a dust trap?

What do members suggest?

Thanks

I have done that in the past. It does however make cutting in harder as you need to define your own arbitrary cutting in line.

You will need to paint over the mastic otherwise it will go black.

hiding the cables would be neater but more work, possibly less than you might think
