I don't have any critters that I will be taking with me, but if I did, I'd sure get Waggle! What a great invention. It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it works! For future, wetting your finger to smooth out the caulk makes the end results look nicer, but it is certainly not necessary. You gave a very good lesson. All my shirts came in, I love them all! Only one ran small so I will use it for decoration in my future home on wheels. Thank you so much for your videos, you help make dreams come true for those of us who have been too afraid to go it alone.

If you want to save what is left in the caulking tube, Stumpy Nubs just had a video about this today. Use the finger from a nitrile glove and put over the tip and squeeze some of the caulk in. The caulk will cure in the finger tip and protect the contents of the tube.

One of the many things I like about your channel is that you break jobs down to the simplest steps and explain the whys and wherefores of each step. That can be applied to any job and encourages people to try things. You also don't fuss about perfection; making it clear that when it's important to be perfect, it's worth the effort but that cosmetics are not the be all and end all. I hope that makes sense. IE get the caulk in deeply but it doesn't have to look like an episode of hgtv that looks pretty even if it won't last. Happy Travels. I hope your Mom is doing ok.

That window was never sealed fright from the start. What you scraped off is crusty butyl tape that oozed out and dried. When windows are installed butyl tape is applied under the seal of the window frame and body and silicone over the top of that, to keep it from drying out.

Hi!! A lot of caulking guns have a skewer hinged near the end of the barrel. Just looks like a piece of hanger with a brad through it

@deborahabc4117 Жыл бұрын

You might know this, but there is a hole on the caulking gun to insert the tube tip so you can cut it off.

Butyl under the window flange experiences very little exposure to the elements. The butyl on the outside Collects dirt and is effected by the elements. Hard plastic putty knifes, sharpened with a metal file, every time its needed, avoids nicking any surface while removing the bulk of Dicor or butyl that has pushed out from under the window flange. Mineral Spirits does a fine job of removing both butyl and dicor sealant. Taping off the body of the rv, about a 1/4 inch from flange and pulling tape before new sealant skins works well for us.

Good on you. I so easily ignore maintenance. Dicor is our friend.

I wanted to share something i recently learned about the chalking gun, not only is there that pin to poke but on the handle area is a cuter too!❤. It may take me some practice to use it and get an angle 😂 but it’s pretty cool.

Bless you for thinking of Sadie's safety. I've seen too many dogs trapped in a hot car. I also hate to see men in trucks having their dogs loose in the back. I once saw a truck on the freeway and the guy had his dog in the back of a flat bed truck. I about had a heart attack watching that poor dog trying to stay in the back without falling off. It was obvious the dog was scared. I don't know why some men are so macho thinking their dog is a pro at staying in the back of a truck without falling out. I once mentioned it to a guy I saw at a rest area. He just said, If it the fall don't kill him, I will for him falling off." Terrible! BTW, my ex has a small chihuahua terrier mix named Sadie. We call her Sadie Girl, too. I usually call her "Sadie the painted lady" in a ridiculous sing-song voice. lol

If you have a little cup of water, dip your finger in it, it makes smoothing it out a little easier.
