I'm a carpenter and when I have to caulk, say, a vanity, I lay masking tape 1/8" above the vanity on the wall and another, 1/8" out from the wall on the vanity. Then I run the bead, not being careful at all. Then I scoosh it out with my finger and immediately pull the tape. That makes a totally perfect bead every time. I've been doing it that way for 50 years.

I’ve never caulked but just bought a tube and now I have some ideas on how to do it. Wish me luck. At 73 I just painted and patched a huge hole .. hung shelves..bought my first drill and hung curtain rods.. now I’m going to caulk. I wish I learned sooner .. but happy to have done it all myself. You YouTube guys are everything to me! Thank you so much❤

I followed your three instructions, including buying a dripless gun, and experienced a pro-style result for the first time, with almost no cleanup or re-touch ups on a big project that I would have previously spent much more time.

You nailed it, thank you and grateful for the advice.

I just bought a house and needed to do some caulking in the bathrooms and kitchen. I've never done a single line of caulking in my life, and all the tips in this video made me an instant caulking pro! I did a cleaner job everywhere than the previous homeowners.

thanks for all your help!

I'm 58 years old. I've caulked professionally and personally on many homes. Do I know it all? Hell no, and that's why I opened this video. This guy told me a lot of what I already know and a few really good tips that I didn't. I like how you kept it moving. Not boring at all even on what I already knew. I wish more instructional video's followed this pace. Keep up the good work.
The biggest mistake I've ever and many times made is simply cutting the tip too large. It's easier to add a little more on the first stroke and then cut the tip a little larger than to clean up a mess from a tip that's too large. Awesome video. Never considered sanding the tip into a corner. Thats really

With the exception of (2) times… this man almost made it through 7 minutes of talking about caulking (clean tip, putting into the crack, etc.) without busting out laughing. Nice work!

After decades of pain and agony, you manage to simplify and explain this nasty dark art thoroughly and completely, all without punching a hole in the drywall.

The fact that you didn't punch a hole in the drywall is what impresses me most, truth be told.

Thank you for your precision.

Man, I've been caulking for more than 40 years, and I'm pretty good, but the orientation line and sanding the tip are game changers! Thank you

As a professional caulking master I've been caulking for 857 years and even I appreciated these tips

[theguy]

I've been caulking for over 30 years and can always use a new tip. I loved the idea of the orientation line and sanding the tip for placement. Usually when I caulked, I had to keep checking the tube to make sure it's lined up properly. Your tip takes the guessing out of it. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! Good luck on your projects everyone!

A huge THANK YOU! Just WOW. I wish this had been online 30 years ago. Caulking has always been the last detail of my wet area DIY jobs, and I hated every minute of it. Your demonstration with explanation is perfect. My latest job, thanks to you, looks professional. It was so simple. I won’t be hating or dreading it any longer.

[LadydogC]

You saved me and made me look great at my new job. I have caulked in my own home and not to bad at it but your tips, I saw a while back. At my new job the bathroom sink needed caulking. I removed the old, cleaned it up, used your tips and you and I did a grand job of it and no mess! THANKS for making me look good!

[tomkelly]

Sanding the tip, marking it and that dripless gun are game changers! Great tips man!
I have also heard that more expensive caulking is almost always worth it, it flexes better and lasts longer. I was just doing some vapour barrier and I would say that when you are using accoustic sealant, put the plastic up first and let the edges hang, then go back and caulk the edges. I caulked the edges first on one section and made a huge mess!

[davidgulbransen]

No joke, these tips changed everything for me. I used to dread caulking my trim work, and now I actually look forward to it because it’s become so easy to make it all look really professional.

[blahblahblah]

Thank you thank you thank you. I'm currently doing this very job and followed all your tips. It's absolutely night and day to what I was doing before. No masking tape and beautiful lines. No messy caulk going everywhere. Literally saved me 2 days of touch up paint work. Thank you so much!!

[peterkleiner]

This is legit the best how-to caulking video I've ever seen. Every time I've ever caulked before it's turned into exactly the mess shown in the beginning of the video. Today I caulked both the base moulding and the sink I installed in my bathroom, and it came out PERFECTLY. I hardly had to wipe it down. *AND* I just had a plain old caulking gun *and* I accidentally cut too big a hole to boot!. Didn't matter...

Thanks for sharing your tips and experience, Mr. FC.

Cheers

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! My husband thought I was nuts when I asked if he had a “dripless” caulking gun!! Then he saw why! All of your tips were easy, useful & effective! But that ‘ORIENTATION LINE’ was genius! You are the best!! I am now the ‘Caulking Queen’ in our family!!!

[mathewspangler]

The orientation line - I can't believe I never thought of that before. Brilliant.

[melissal]

I have to laugh as the few times I've tried, I've gotten the messes you showed. The dripless gun, sanding tip, orientation line and more are perfect and I appreciate your experience and clear demos. I can't wait to try again using these tips. Thanks!

[DistortedAudio]

I'm an avid DYI'er and have worked for a remodeling company in the past, your very 1st tip would of been the absolute dream, if I would of thought/known then. Glad to know it now moving forward, excellent information. Thanks my man
