  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

    • I am a professional caulker of over 45 years and this is plain stupid. No professional does this and there is a reason. Here is a simple fact 90% of window installers know nothing about caulking. In fact most are hacks. There are some glaziers ( not window installers) gagged are good at caulking.
