Just curious but why did you disregard tip 2 on the rest of the examples?

First of all the reason you get uneven bead is you’re using the cheapest caulk gun you can buy. Secondly only putting down dotted lines to make a smooth bead is wrong because when you do that you create air bubbles which will make the silicone fail faster. How do I know? I’m a professional caulker with 30+ years experience. I’ve waterproofed the outside of high rise buildings that are still sealed after 20 years.

The duct tape "cap" was definitely a solid tip, thanks!

Thank you for all the techniques!

Very handy tips, I'm sure to try a few of them on my next project.

Thank you! It is very helpful for beginers like me.

What! No wailing guitars, no one screaming information...Love it!

Apart from your videos being useful, you present the videos in natural tone, without any disturbing music, which is great and beautiful, and thanks for that!

Can you apply that type of heat to silicone around a plastic or fiberglass bath

Que legal, essas técnica também servem para PU40 ?

You are a genius!!! 💖👍 Thank you so much for posting. 😺

wow, thanks for the presentation.

do I only use the pushing method when it's a straight cut?

Oh great 👍🏻👍🏻 These will be a great help to me later ...I am mending something in my house using silicone glue and have no idea how I should do it in a proper way. Thanks sir 😃

Can you use the heat gun to remove the caulk around a bathtub?

I would LOVE it to binch watch your videos, if you could put them in a playlist.Or several playlists!!!!

Good job, caulk always dries for me, will try those different sealings

Example one is always....squeeze out WAY too much caulk and two is squeeze out about the right amount. YEP...works better every time putting down the right amount and straight. But the REAL Key to Caulking - from one whose done Marble Tubs/Surrounds and Home painting/building for years...is of course to choose the right size cut on the nozzle, squeeze out the right amount as you move the caulk gun along first, but then....MOST IMPORTANT ---- Use a rag and the right solvent and keep your finger clean as you press the bead home into the joint and clean up any excess - FROM your FINGER. For Latex Caulk, all you need is a H2O/Damp Rag to wipe your finger on as you run you a finger over the caulk. Keeping ur finger clear of any excess caulk allows you to press in and clean up the caulk perfectly every time. But wipe 10-15 inches, then clean your finger as it builds up, then wipe another section and clean the finger again...repeating until done. Any Excess - if it happens, can be wiped up with the clean end of the rag to ensure you have Zero over smear (if that happens at all which it won't if u get 1st part half way right and don't put on WAY too much like in this video). For Silicone Caulk, replace the H2O damp rag with Acetone and also use a spray bottle of Acetone. Use an acetone damped rag in one hand like described above, but in addition before you wipe with finger you also spray a light mist over the bead/work before you Run your finger down across the bead. It keeps the Silicone from sticking to area outside your bead and keeps your Finger clean as you wipe small sections, as you wipe rag to keep finger clean of excess. So Wipe/Clean Finger then Wipe/Clean Finger as you caulk with both Silicone and Latex and you get Perfect Beads every time. It is all about using the right solvent and a rag handy as u push the bead in to ensure it stays perfectly clean

Thank you for these tips. Every day is a school day 🙂👍

Good vid man! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Alberta- Canada!

I’ve been putting tape on the end for 30 years in the Autobody shop... only give it a pump and fill the tape with silicon, Winshield urethane, seam sealer etc

und wie silikonierst du, wenn vertikal eine Fuge dazwischen kommt? hätte hierbei gern mal ein Video gesehen :) sonst Top Video - danke

Many Thanks for this very good Idea and for showing this video!

Most definitely will have to remember theirs trikes thank you

Always apply right to left except when caulking sink faucet. Helpful.

The Maker, good tips👍. However, why did you not use continue using the PUSH method on your subsequent examples 🤔

Reshaping the tip of the nozzle was priceless. Thanks.

I've never applied silicon and can't imagine I will any time soon but I still have this knowledge now and that's something.

There was some good tips there 👍👍👍I like the one that you go behind the tap.

Fabulous! Thank you!

Amazing video, thank you!

I work in the aircraft industry and the 2nd way is how we get taught to seal fuel tanks, fuselages etc as it fills the potential void areas better. I'm inclined to agree the 2nd way is better.

показывает что слева направо нельзя вести, а сам так и продолжает

Seems to really help when you turn the blade down into the surface rather that parallel to it when scraping caulk.

What is the cleat attachment you burned and poked a hole in called?

All very helpful thanks 👍

I use silicone and caulk basically every day and i cant say these arent good techniques but using a newer caulk gun would also help and with the lighter it would help people to see more than only the side view of what you were showing them a huge part of all this work is the size of the exit hole personally i dont always have the time to do little spurts i have to be able to seal up every edge in a room in about 15-20 minutes but for something small that would come in handy or something that isnt being rushed. Im not saying amy of these are bad tips and the last ones i use myself gotta plug the caulk and hooks are my go to or screws but over all i do like this video just need a little more for people who are watching this for home use

Tons of awesome useful tricks. Saved.

Where were you 10 years ago ? Could have saved me a lot of grief with silicone. Especially that taps trick ! 😀

fajny film, najlepszy ze wszystkich. Ja bym dodał jeszcze cięcie skośne końcówki wtedy też zgodnie z posuwem ładnie się silikon rozprowadza

I like how this kind of videos are only useful for the info you can gather from the comments rather than the video itself.

Pushing the caulk gun tip forward is generally a terrible idea, but caulking two perfectly smooth solid slabs without any joint is the most controlled scenario and it turned out alright. I'll definitely try it next time! However it doesn't help for most real world applications. Cutting the tip properly and coordinating the movement of the gun with the flow of caulk is the best way to ensure a good product. Nice video

1:46 That finger got me laughing out loud! Love it!

This is gonna help me a lot. I suck at this so bad lol.

Why in step #4 did the card you used to remove excess silicone it went out of view on the video screen…. Almost as if you swapped out the original card for a card with less excess silicone on it ….. just asking

Instant sub you got from me love this vid.💯

Please make a video - how to prevent the bottled from dry after used silicon , so it can be reused after longtime.🙏

After 15 years of me caulking, this guy finally showed me to squeeze the caulk out of the pointy end, mind blowing…

1:45 you just said no to left to right then did it yourself when you heated the tip?

AWESOME 👌 That silicone gets hard in the tube if kept for later use.

Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻

Hola dime. ¿Cómo hago esto en vidrios de quitar la silicona con la pistola de calor?

Doesn't matter which method you apply caulk as long as it works for you. The reason is that there are many variables, but the main one is level of control of the pumping hand as the rate of caulk flow is key.

At the beginning you told us NOT to go backwards but to go FOREWARDS with the caulking gun and then in all the other examples you went BACKWARDS........WHY?

Thanks! Love it!

Наблюдать ваши видео это отдельная форма удовольствия 👍

Excellent ideas 👍

I like the way that the proper way to caulk is made to look wrong! I caulked for 35 years and talent is talent! It takes a while to become good but if l can do it so can anyone who really try’s!

So much more fun without heat. Stripping out caulk with a blade is oddly satisfying.

why don't you mix 2nd & 3rd trick?

Great tips! although tip 5 should've be done like is shown on tip 2. 👍

0:15 Is it a hair dryer? Use hot blowing?

Sehr hilfreich, vielen Dank fuer diese tollen Tips

Bravo! You are super! Good job!

It’s better to cut the tip at a 45degree angle and hold the gun at a 45 degree angle to the vertical and horizontal side of the corner you’re caulking. Unless of course what you’re caulking is 2 perfectly flat surfaces oriented at 90 degree angles to one another.

so which one of the thousand ways you showed us should I use. I am so confuse..

Genius!

Well, I just learned a lot of nifty thing... been storing my silicon wrong all this time, too!

I make time-lapse shirts tips for similar so good ideas you have now subbed !

Complimenti per i consigli davvero molto utili e meno spreco 👍👍👍👍💯👏👍

Trik yang sangat bermanfaat dan membantu, terimakasih sudah berbagi 🙏

These are great ideas!

Superb ! Simple but I admit , I learned from it for my diy works. Thanks for sharing.

Спасибо. Некоторые твои идеи использую. 👍

At 0:37 he says not to apply it going backwards but recommends forwards. After that, the rest of the tutorials shows him applying it going backwards anyway. :/

Your a caulking genius!

Very good tips

Thanks for sharing 👍

Some great tips here, thanks. But in example 5 you show us to go in the opposite direction to that shown in example 2...

Awesome 👏 thanks ❤

Do you like black caulk?

good information!!

anyone wanting to remove sealant without burning their baths can always use some penetrating spray like a wd40, spray over lightly, it will start to break down in 15-20 mins, you will however need to use a white spirit/clean spirit works too before applying the new stuff

thanks

Metal hooks/screw may corrode (especially with water based), leaving you to deal with brown or flecked caulk for a while, or eventually ruin your tip. Tape or cling wrap is good for air tight. Or 3D print a cap.

Make sure the object can withstand a lot of heat if using a heat gun to remove silicone. You might warp or melt your tub surround if it’s plastic. I would never do something so stupid or anything, 👀 but I’ve heard this could happen

How do you keep it from continuing to come out when you’re done?

This trick help my job ❤

How big you cut the tip and the rate at which you caulk = whether you waste caulk or not👍

Ustacım elimizde kolunuza sağlık sayenizde güzel şeyler öğreniyoruz

this guy loves calk!

Где ж ты раньше был?! Респект и уважуха!

Useful tips.but u show applying silicon all ways forward direction,u applying silicon in basin"back of the faucet"in backward direction.any way very useful tips thanks.

Thank you thank you 🙏

Так как в итоге правильно? На себя или от себя?

Awesome tips, will be very helpful, thank you

Good tips!

Some of this I do agree with depending on what you are caulking , where. How, and what you are caulking. But let me tell you that I have over 45 years EXPERIENCE caulking EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. if a person doesn't use there finger to go over the caulk after they have applied it. Take away the caulking gun from them. I literally caulk something at some point almost every day.

I wish I saw this before my first attempt!!!!

Why would anyone cut the caulk tip straight anyways? I've been a remodeler most of my adult life and I always cut them at a 45 and you can both pull and push without any problems at all if you know how to run a caulk gun .
