Very Nice Tips For Caulky

@annastasia3581 Жыл бұрын

Love all of your tips...I'm always wasting caulk running my finger over it to smooth it out. The caulk caps are a great tip, and I will be buying some. I always stick a nailor screwin the tip which is never air tight and allows the caulk around the edges to harden in turn making a terrible line coming out hence having to finger smooth and wasting caulk. Great tips thank you!

Thank you for the tips on caulking. I don't exactly know how many times I have had to recaulk in the bathroom. Trust me when I say a lot! I especially like the marking arrow. I think I can do this with more skill than luck this time.

@bixler4098 Жыл бұрын

Great caulking suggestions! Marking the top of the tube will solve an ongoing problem of mine, can’t believe I never thought of it! To seal an open tube, I use fingers cut from old latex gloves secured with a rubber band which work well and are also reusable, but I may try the tube caps. I’ve never been a fan of painter’s tape-no matter how careful I am when I remove the tape, the edges of the caulk lift up and create a step, and with some practice I don’t think it’s necessary for good results. Many thanks for your helpful vids!

@JohnJFlood-zs8ep Ай бұрын

Used the painter's tape as you suggested and got the beautiful straight line. However, when I pulled the tape off, it pulled out some of the caulking. I let it dry overnight and that was the result.

@jefffree6990 Жыл бұрын

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

@genecarden780 10 ай бұрын

Soapy water is absolutely wrong. It WILL cause the sealant to fail prematurely. It is common sense and NO professional caulker does this

Super handy and perfect timing. Currently sealing up a detached garage and am dreading having to break out the caulking gun, one of my least favorite jobs to do. One other tip I was shown in the past is to use an ice cube to wipe the excess. It will naturally mold itself to the angle and is always wet so it's easy to wipe off, then just get another once it melts.

Wow I never knew that! Thank you for sharing the 🧊 trick! Best of luck on your Garage my friend! 👍🏽🙏🏽😊

Finish Line Caulk Pre Filled Precision Applicators are the easiest way to caulk fine lines, small gaps, cracks and hard to reach places. Less waste and less mess. When quality and details matter. Finish the job with Finish Line Caulk.
