Where did you get the red tip for the
Caulkin gun.

[inqvmnd]

That sandpaper trick....😮. Trying it today on my shower! I've been dreading this bathroom project, but now feel better about it. I always make a mess w caulk. It finishes well, but the process is frustrating. Thanks!

I can appreciate your video and I’d like to offer some of my professional advice. If you don’t have the caulk caps, painters tape works also. Just wrap some tape over the tip and it’ll preserve the caulk for a long time. I’ve opened some months later and it’s still fine. Also there are tools for doing the caulking clean up other than your finger. Walmart carries them and so far they’re the only place I’ve found that does. It’s a red and black tool with a rubber triangle on one end and a metal caulk remover as well as a plastic scraper on the other end. The things are great and I but them every chance I get. Another tip is when you have excess is to find those larger gaps like above doors or around windows, and use that excess before it dries to fill in the space so there’s no wasted money on you or your customer. You can also use the caulk carefully with the tool I mentioned in filling caulk lines and it works perfectly. When doing intersecting corners, make sure you keep the tip of the caulking gun clean so it doesn’t gob up the work you’ve already put into the other corners. Just a few extra words of advice from a seasoned carpenter and much more ☺️ hopefully that helps someone

Your painter's tape and other tips gave me a perfect caulk job on the tub surround. 👍

[allieb]

Great tips. I'm a pro but always like to compare notes with other pros. You taught this old dog a new trick

[michaelmalone]

Excellent training video. Thankfully, no distracting music. The best video I have watched regarding caulking. Thanks!

[trishanewell]

Marking the top and sanding block so the tube won’t rock….genius! Also,
Love the soap n water to spray the caulk AND your finger before smoothing! What a difference. Thanks for making the video. So helpful!

[bk-galaxy]

Great video. I thought I knew everything about caukinng for occasional bathroom cauking. This video taught many new things and I am going to apply them today.

[jsteam]

I am so glad I watched your video this morning, for years as a do it yourselfer I have struggled with using the old type caulk guns and spending a lot of time going back over the caulking smoothing it out and wiping countless times so it would look good wasting a lot of caulk and having a very messy situation, your caulking tips are very valuable to me and I greatly appreciate your videos to help make projects easier, Thank you!

[jaysweet]

Thank you for being so detailed and kind in the giving of your expertise.

[FreverYoung]

Those caulk caps will come in handy for sure.

[ricardomarmol]

Very nice caulking tips. But most importantly they all are very helpful to everyone who is a beginner or a professional. Just want to add that you're very helpful and easy to fallow and understand your advice on how to do any home repairs or improvement around the house. Thanks so so much. Please keep them coming. And may the Lord bless your family. Thanks a million

[officialshadetreeamerica]

I need to get some of those caps. I normally waste at least 1/2 a tube when I use caulk due to it drying up. Thanks for the tips👍

[zazuzazz]

Excellent tips I never would’ve stumbled upon by myself- ever. Including learning about the 2 types of caulking applicator gun.
This presentation has been very helpful for my burgeoning home improvement skills going forward. Thank you! 🙏 🖼️ 🖌️

[JeffS_EV_Talks]

Good tips. I can’t wait to try them all

[JillJones-twcv]

I'm new at this, the sanding, or the tape. Will definitely help me with remodeling. I am doing myself, Thank-you

[riker]

Great info! Also have used a baby wipe to wipe my finger on while caulking. Lubes your finger nicely to get the job done!

[jefffree]

Good one! Painters tape + soapy water trick, that's the ticket! And keep a damp rag nearby to remove the excess that can build up on your finger tips on long runs. I like the mini rubber caps, but first i stick a screw in it; helps clean out the dried gunk when you go back a few weeks later

[pammylbear]

The caulk line that happened with the back and forth motion reminds me of cake decorating!

[beckytobey]

Hahahaha, a tiny red rubber. Didn't think it was wise to reuse those things! Lol
