Oscillating tool would probably work fine! BUT NOT if you are gonna use it daily as an installer!! It WILL probably fall apart with HEAVY use! lol

THESE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER TOOLS AND SUPPLIES WE USE.

This is the easiest way to show someone, unlike those that go into a hr long explanation. This simple and to the point

I have been avoiding this caulking project for 3 days because I did not want to mess up these new laminate floors. This video made it look easy and not so intimidating, like I've had it built up in my head. Thank you for sharing! I'll be going to get a sponge & bucket tomorrow.

I have hated caulking for 20 years. I was so messy and just bad. My results are like the video. Clean, smooth, small lines and it's so easy. Very forgiving method if you mess up, just wipe it and start over. I used 20-minute ALEX brand latex caulk on white satin trim/pink eggshell walls with a random soft sponge from the garage. Thanks for this video!!

[brianharper]

I think I was doing it a lot like you were, using a wet rag. I’m running down to the store and getting a sponge tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. You are quickly becoming my flooring hero, LOL!

[jessicamizzell]

im so glad i found this. I had given up on even caulking because I have hand tremors and it would come out terrible. just did this on my baseboard i just installed over my new laminate and omg it looks perfect and i dont have dried caulk all over the place. Thank you guys so much for teaching us amateurs

[mariedenning]

The best method I've ever tried! I was facing this daunting task so of course turned to YouTube. This was the third video I watched and gave it a try. A pretty perfect caulk job, if I do say so myself! Thank you for this video!❤

[paulh]

Bro I needed this just bought a house and need to caulk all the trims!!! Great stuff!

[olivermugridge]

Thank you for showing me the secret caulking. I'm going to use my caulk so much more now.

[kennethguidry]

I used this technique and I look like a PRO!!!

[deejaytori]

Man, if only I'd watched this five hours ago before I started caulking between the baseboard and wood floor, using painter's tape, which just lifted the caulk up when I took it off, leaving ragged edges. Maybe I'll just do the whole job over, using this method.

[jewel]

This is the BEST WAY to do calk. Been doing this for years.

[boricuababyhuey]

I did this method in my living room and it worked out nicely thing I did not have was a wet bucket so I made many trips to the sink LOL.

[brianburch]

Hell ya! This 4:03 has transformed me from intimidated to confident. Thanks for the lesson!

[Pam-oqxd]

Thank you for this!! I was just taping my floor and looking for tips to make that easier, nervous it would look bad. What great methods here instead!!

[dmp]

That is the exact method I use. The trick is sometimes when using the sponge you end up taking it all up. So I use my finger and then lightly do the sponge. The only caulking I just can't master is the clear silicone. The white silicone..no problem...crazy, huh? LOL!

[gacpac]

i checked a lot of stupid videos and reviews and this is just on point!

[JTP]

I like: "painters told me never to touch a caulking gun again" LMFAO!!!! That's too funny. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂

[MM-sqpf]

It's amazing how any people watch these vids AFTER f'kg their stuff up lmao. I always thought it was the other way around so you get it right the first time. But, you know

[funtality]

This is great. I was using paper towels the first time and going through so many thinking is this the only way ?!

[KeleighAsbury]

Thanks for the great video! I don't understand why the installers didn't caulk the bottom of my baseboards.
