You should always use painters tape to cover where you don't want the caulking to go. It provides a clean line and looks really good when you're done.

That looks like my caulk work. Makes me feel better that I'm not alone. Sometimes I flow with the caul, most of the time it looks like that.

Thanks. this 65 year old can't seem to find anyone to hire for this, so I'm going to do it myself.

That white lightning is what makes you a professional sir. All the haters on here probably ruining somebody's great work with Dap!😂 Good job

Thank you for your video! I'm in the process of redoing the caulking on my windows -- Just a normal part of caring for a home.

I haven't needed to do this in many years and your video helped give me confidence I can do this.

Don't forget the caulk on the nails of the window frame, especially the bottom nails where water can get through.

This is white lightning 3006 cheap caulk. Good caulk but needs to be painted because it will mold and discolor.

My window company should have watched this video. They smoothed with the finger against the brick. Looks like sh*t. I wanted to remove the caulk and redo it. Not sure how to remove the caulk though.

[tammyowens]

supposed to wet the brick and clean it, and get caulk to match the brick.

What it there are gaps wider than a bead of caulk?

[meyman]

The link to Amazon shows a clear caulk. Aren't you using white?

Out of curiosity, how old are those windows?

[swoop-it]

Horrible look. Take the time to tape windows, brick, ect. Then smooth it out. Will look 100 better

[deanwitt]

Put some tape around the windows and do it properly . Yes it’s time consuming but well worth it in the end . This is just shoddy .

[BrendanoftheDE]

You shouldn’t be using caulk on the external you should be using silicone..

[age_of_reason]

That's a crappy caulking job man.

[russellball]

Easier way is tape up, silicone, use washing up liquid in a spray bottle and spray then smooth, the silicone stays in the gap but won't smear the frame.

That is the worst caulking I've ever seen in my life he should not be allowed to touch a caulk gun
