Scrape a small amount of wood putty into each hole. Use a putty knife or trowel to smooth the wood filler over the nail hole as best you can. Once it's had time to dry, sand the putty with a high-grit sandpaper or sanding block to finish blending it. Most wood fillers will take between 15 minutes and an hour to dry completely, depending on the depth and number of holes. If necessary, run the tip of the caulk gun between the new casing and the wall to fill in any remaining gaps. Do the same in the lines where the trim meets, around the sill and anywhere else you find open crevices. As long as you've measured, cut and nailed the casing carefully, there should be no need to caulk. Run a sheet of high-grit sandpaper over the inner edges of the new casing and the exposed drywall around the opening. After this area has been smoothed and painted, the new casing will run seamlessly into the window jamb. Use just enough force to wear down swelling, splinters, and other inconsistencies and prepare the materials to accept paint. If you caulked around the new trim, cut or fold the sandpaper into a small strip and go over it until it's no longer visible. Brush on a single coat of primer and allow it to dry overnight. Follow up with 2-3 coats of interior acrylic paint, letting each coat dry to the touch before applying the next, until you reach the desired coverage and depth of color. When you're done, you'll have a beautifully accented window to show for your efforts! Use painter's tape to mask the surrounding wall and avoid stray drips and streaks. Choose a shade that matches the rest of the trim throughout your home. Be prepared to give each coat of paint 4-6 hours of drying time before reapplying.

Summary: Fill all nail holes. Caulk around the edges of the casing. Sand inside the window jamb. Prime and paint the casing.
