I like how it's a "real-life" environment---not a pre-fabricated perfect/ideal/brand new window situation. He shows how to realistically fill in gaps left while applying the caulk, how to add caulk to a caulk line and, how to smooth the caulk in both directions. That's what you actually come across when you caulk.

This video saved me $11,000 replacing all the windows in my house. They were drafty as can be and at 30 years old, I thought they just needed to be updated. I bought $20 in caulk and sealed all of them up, my house is so much warmer at night. You da man!

Thank you for making this video! I am a young, new homeowner with no background in DIY and need to seal up a windowsill where ants were coming in. Much less stressful watching your overview of the basic process, thanks :)

Great video. I appreciated seeing multiple shots of you applying the caulk / running your finger over it. Good to have a good mental picture of what I'm trying to do before I do it.

Thanks for a great video. You kept it nice and simple, straight to the point! I'm ready to caulk my windows now. Great music in the background too!

Thanks for the help! Running your finger over it "gently" felt like a pro tip. My windows look professionally sealed now!

Straight and to the point with nice advice. Great video.

A video from a true Dad. Perfect

Very helpful video. Helped boost my confidence that I could do this project. Thank you!!!👍🏽

Came across this video today, thank you so much! Clear instructions and tips, I’ve never caulked before and this video gave me the confidence to do around my bathroom window as I’m redecorating!

Love this video. Quick, to the point and super informative. I’m doing my windows tomorrow so I’ll let you know the outcome.

Thanks for the help! replaced my windows after watching, great content 👍👍

Thanks for the video, very easy and simple advice to follow 👍🏻 Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you! I need to do this to my window between the window sill and the screen; A couple recluse spiders have been getting in through the crack! Needed this!

As a lady, thanks for such a great demo!

Excellent video, nice and simple and shows the full process!

Thanks for sharing your method and insights/tips! 🙂👍

Hey thanks man. Just what I need to do for this cold winter.

great video brother!!! needed this.

Thanks from the UK. Nice easy video to watch. I knew how to caulk or I thought I did. Learnt bad habits from ex husband who knew it all lol Off to caulk now

Straight to the point. Thank you

Hey thanks so much for this video - it was really helpful. Much appreciated!

this definitely makes me feel better about my caulking jobs

I’ve definitely been pushing too hard with my finger. Thanks for the tip!

Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks for the video! I've recently moved into a condo with horrible drafts coming in now that it's gotten colder and windier. Even my house built in the 60s didn't have as much air coming in. I'm also having issues with smoke smell coming in through the cracks around the windows from a woman who smokes in the parking lot.. I work from home and have been getting a migraine from it every day this last week and it stinks in here. I hope that helps a tiny bit at least. This was super helpful. Will definitely be heading to home depot this week!

Thankyou I'm doing this now and you've made it so easy ... plus your handsome X

Yay I did it myself! I've been waiting for someone else to do it for 2 weeks so I can put my blinds back up

perfect dyi, not to long and learned what I wanted.

Very helpful. Thank you.

TY for this! Gonna have to redo the caulking on my bedroom window in our shitty 10yo condo, which gets a ton of temp changes through the day and from season to season. Builders did a hell of a bad job but now I can fix it. =P

Good video and I like the background music too! Thanks.

Thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing!

Tip from a legendary queen: Once you've chalked, put dish soap on your finger then smoothen it out and it won't stick to your finger and it'll be very smooth 💅

Idk why this is so satisfying to watch

Thanks for the help

Thank you bro!

Thanks brother!

Thank you.

Very helpful plus nice music 😅

What if you’re in an apt and the wood is light brown thinking of using clear 🤔

Yeah amazing how much cold little cracks can let in like cracked plaster around window frames and draughts from electrical fittings and pipes.

Do i need to completely remove old sealant before applying new one?

Thank you sir

Thank you

Thanks!

Will this help keep flies out ?

Could you also share the metal or plastic holder if the caulk..so I get the right part thank u!

I learned a pack of baby wipes in my tool-bag is incredibly useful, I don’t always have running water or a bucket and sponge available

Can u use sealant

So I liked ur video but I didn't get the metal case I didn't see those..I have never used the case.. do I go back to home depot and get the metal case..thanks.. only one window has an issue..

I like your video..

Thankyou 😊

We all need a good old caulking... 😉 😂. No but seriously thanks for video, very informative.

1/27/2023 went into home Depot today and got myself some dap we going for it!

I need to redo the caulking on my windows. Should I scrape off the old stuff before putting the new stuff on?

The window sealing around the edges outside can let cold in too.

Great video… what about where the glass meets the edge of the frame? Does that require caulking and if so would I use a clear caulk? Thank you!

only for laytex if your using a wet spounge or rag

But how do you do this on the outside of a 3rd flow condo window that is like 40 feet high? lol. I'm having a fly problem that keep slipping through the window, but there is no way that I can think of to do this on the outside of the window without falling to my death.

what a tight caulk

Cut caulk tip square and apply at a 90 it comes out perfect and you dont even have to touch it.

“Caulk Zone” is now in my vocabulary.

For an all-wood window with six or so small panes (to the side of the front door), do you caulk between each of the panes and the wood?

Can you do an exterior?! 😬

Good because I have no idea what I'm doing but have about 6 windows to do.

Wow that would be a big No no in denmark but good video mate 👍

Id like to give few pointers. First of all get rid of this gun, when you need to caulk few lines it willdo the job when you have todo lots of caulking it is a piece of crap, at least oil it a bit.. Second, try to feed fast eaven beed, beed must be under the nozzle all time, if any starts toget out from sides, clean nozzle right away. Third, start with corners moveing out from the corner, never end in the corner.

Is that daylight showing on the sides of the windows before caulk?????

Never underestimate the wet sponge

Not bad but I don't cut my tip at such an extreme angle. A slight angle allows you to just keep the gun straight and you get a more consistent bead. Also you forgot to spit on it. Spitting on your finger keeps the caulk from sticking to your finger and it smoothes out the rough edges.

Glad this helped some others, but this didn't help at all. What if the wall is not white and the windows are vinyl and white?

"Caulking is pretty easy to do". You've obviously never seen me caulk. I get it everywhere and it looks like a comedy skit. After watching your video, I'm thinking part of my problem is I bought the cheapest caulk gun in HD and it will not lay a bead like as smooth as yours. I have to keep cranking mine and more caulk comes out the backside of the tube than the tip. lol Edit: Came back to say I caulked my windows after watching your video and did the best caulk job I've ever done. The difference was I bought a better quality gun and I was very conscious of how much pressure I used with my finger to spread it out. Prior to watching your video, I used to press hard. Thanks!!!

Apply little more and use a tool to point with soapy water

It's better to have the finger wet from the water and soap and to just slide down on the silicone...

My advice, if you need Caulking "Tips, or Tricks", Skip to the next video!!

2minute how to done in 5 minutes

What alot of people do wrong is run their finger down it period.

He's yummy!

Verry wrong apply to selicon.

Please dont caulk you windows like this or with 230 for that matter.. 230 should only be used outside, its a waiste of money using it indoors.. Dap's alex plus and 1/4" backerrod is how it should be done. The backerrod helps insulate. Which these windows had no insulation at all from the looks of the light shining through. Just all and all a hacky DIY video. Not good habits.

2 minute how to 🤔

That was the longest two minutes of my life

Messy

I don’t like the loud music while you talk.

So bad

He is not very good at it 😕

Thank you so very much. I am trying to fix my apartment (slum.landlord) and was afraid of caulking the window because of this video the fear is gone. Thank you

Hi mate how much do you get per window fit? 🪟 labor only? I know someone getting 500 per 1 fit labor only

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you
