I never knew there were 2 types. Thank you for tips. Good teacher 😊. Every day is a school day.

This is really helpful. I'm putting new base board down in our bathroom and I followed your instructions and it worked great. I think the big one that helped was the tip to run a small amount, and then do it again if needed to fill larger gaps. I had some pretty big gaps at times, but now using your approach it isn't a mess and it all looks so clean and profession. Thanks again for the great video.

A painter friend of mine showed me a caulking trick that utilizes the some of the tips used in this video. This was done after walls were painted and white painted baseboards installed. As in the video, you cut a small angle cut on tip (except you use needle nose pliers and pinch the tip to make the opening smaller). Then you place and angle the gun on the baseboard and your wet finger at the tip of the gun. You then squeeze the trigger and drag the gun along the baseboard with your finger at a quick space that covers around 2 - 3ft. Due to the small opening and your finger running with the gun, it lays down the caulk in one motion. You may have to rerun areas if there are gaps that were not completely filled. Try it.

I need to point out the gap from the floor to the baseboard is a great opening for insects to invade your house from inside the walls. Fill those gaps with caulking as well as any gaps in electrical and plumbing coming through the walls, and you will see far less insects in your house.

Thanks, I've been chaulking for years, I had no idea about the difference between silicon and latex chaulk. That explains a lot of issues over the years. Thanks again.

[daisyz]

I have been Caulking awhile now, and the way you explain in such detail and Patience. I learned things about caulking I never knew. Thank you for the best video yet. Please donn't stop sharing.

[tonawhitaker]

Wow! I've never seen a caulk cap! Thank you so much. I'm going to get some. Your tips are great. I do cut larger holes than necessary.

[beckytobey]

You are definitely the best caulking video I have watched. I'm fixing up my 50 year mobile retirement home, what a mess in the master I created. Will be using your tips everywhere else. Thank you

I've never seen anyone do two thin passes. Looks good. I'll probably do that next time.

[YooooouKnowwwww]

HAHAHAHA People think that mess in the intro was a joke but I've seen that done 100 times with my family. Thanks for the vid man!

I had to use masking tape on my bath because I just couldn't get it. I spent a long time masking it perfectly. It looks really nice. Definitely worth the effort.
