Although it may seem easy to make proper silicone, it is actually a difficult task. That's why in this video we showed you how to shoot the perfect silicone. If you need to make silicone at home, be sure to follow these silicone tricks, hacks, tips.
You're a genius, straight up. My caulking skills was your first example everytime. Thanks.
I am always fearful of doing new things because I think I will be unsuccessful, the info you have given in this video really helps me know that I can caulk now without making a mess and I really appreciate this! Always fantastic videos, thank you!
Don’t be afraid to make a mess because it’s inevitable. Just keep a clean rag in your back pocket to wipe up any messes
I’ve been doing the rubber tubing trick for about 30 years, learned it on a show called “This Old House”. I loved that show. I would love to watch every episode
,😊👍👍
Don't use anything to plug the used tube. Just squeeze out a quarter inch of material and let it dry. It forms its own protective plug in the nozzle, then you grab the dried tail and pull it out when you use it next.
The Son of God Jesus Christ came down from eternity and was born of a Virgin called Mary.God manifested in the flesh He was perfect and still is perfect Never committed one Sin. Because we us humans who are created beings are very sinful and need saving from our sins because the bible says Romans 6:23 King James Version 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Now the death in this verse means eternal death because sin builds a wage And the payment for our sins is eternal death in a literal fire burning hell for eternity. Revelation 21:8 King James Version 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Now because we have to be perfect to go to heaven and spend eternity in The kingdom of God with God not one Sin is allowed you see my friend it's not trying to be good enough to go to heaven we have to be perfect and we have a problem we all have Sin and still do Sin Romans 3:23 King James Version 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; So we can not do any works or even Good works to save ourselves from Hell for example water baptism Going to church trying not to Sin to go to heaven being a Good person We can not do any works to remove a sin because God says it is death for the sin Because sin is transgression of the law And to go to heaven by keeping the law we must be perfect not break it at any point keep it 100 percent perfect 1 John 3:4 King James Version 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Which means When we Trust in him and believe we cannot go to hell for our sins Because we have no sins to to pay for. It's by Grace something we don't deserve not any works of any kind. God gets all the glory and no created Man will be boosting before God saying he earned heaven by he's works the bible is clear on this my friend. God is the saviour not us We are not co saviour we either believe or we don't there is too types of People unbelievers in Sin death or believers in Christ Life eternal.

It’s sure easy from something so simple to make such a catastrophic failure lol. Great video with the helpful hints!
Discovering. I love that way of showing. International, no words just signs! Great idea!
SUPER helpful thank you! I hate caulking, total rookie here so this was fantastic to see!
Never had an issue, 35 years ago and old timer showed me how to use a damp tile sponge corner and my lines always are clean and professional. But more ways to do one thing are never bad to know.
I learned the hard way about the soapy water/alcohol trick. It works by keeping the silicone from sticking, but that works both ways. That is, if during application, the silicone doesn't totally contact both surfaces, when sprayed, the liquid can get under and behind the silicone, and then it won't stick. I think that's why you see pros putting on way too much in order to ensure nothing gets under or behind it.
Such a easy tutorial. Thanks I think this time around my husband would execute it perfectly. 👌🏼👍🏻🤩
Great Vid! with the last one instead of using a tube like that there is a nozzle you can get that twists to the angle you need. Works great to get behind top mounted basins if its close to the wall. Alot of people dont do it and inspectors always pick up on it.
Sensacional. Obrigada pelo ensinamento.
Muito obrigado amigo. Os brasileiros aqui o agradece. Deus o abençoe. 👏👏👏

Awesome… very beautiful 👌 Fully watched 👍👍👍
Great hints/hacks. I love the "no, no, no" wagging finger.
Many thanks for these great tips. In the middle of caulking the sunroom, so this will help do it right the first time!
Cool stuff, and direct to the point 👍 Cheers.
You can honestly cut the tube, spray what you want or tool it how you may.....the real test is the size of hole on the spout end, the thrust ratio of the caulk gun and the angle/speed at which you run your bead. Smear away boys and dont forget to wipe it on your jeans🙂👍
I’ve been called the Queen of caulking. Thank you for the advice!
You made it look easy but I think I will still struggle. I will watch this before doing it next time and hope to amaze myself.
I worked as a contractor doing in tank sealing on the global 7000 aircraft at bombardier. Really tight areas using 2 mirrors for visual, and if you messed up you just cleaned it up and re did it. I mainly worked as a structural airframe assembler drilling, riveting and that kinda stuff so mistakes were costly. Sealing is kind of therapeutic and satisfying as the kids would say. I'd just listen to music and have at it, unfortunately those kind of sealants were very carcinogenic and I worked in a gas tank essentially with Isopropyl alcohol to clean but ive used all 4 of these methods, even used mold release and created the seal on a workbench then put some seal around the point of contact and it worked great, it was just to hard to get 360 degree access when the part was installed
Would you like to seal my car?
Great tip. But from a professional point. Just cut the tip smaller and at a 45• angle and pull the trigger easy and you can have the right amount come out. Less mess 👍🏼
Beat me to this. Also no need to destroy a caulk gun, there is such a thing as a utility knife

I ❤ it thanks for spending ur time here so we can use ur tricks😊😉

If sealing under a door/patio doors but very close to ground just force the nozzle to a 45 angle before pumping gun, if nozzle already full of silicone be sure to hold on to nozzle as you force the bend as it can shoot off its thread. Most nozzles already have tiny hole so don't even need cutting for very small gaps, then gradually re cutting as needed and squeeze out quarter inch when finished to seal the tube then just pull out the set silicone next time. If no nozzles at all and gap not too small just pump the tube along gap and tool it in. Don't keep throwing away used nozzles, when set push the silicone out with long thin screwdriver it'll pull out clean as a whistle.

@@steveocvirek6671 I use just the gun most of the time but once in a while I might need some tape ie behind a tap etc. Always looks 98% on point.
Absolutely some very great tips here! When my ex and I started building home, decks and basement remodels together he always had me do the caulking. The first time he saw me with my finger in it to spread it evenly and smoothly he about had a cow! But after checking it over and seeing how nice it looked he stopped telling me , " knock it off, you aren't here to frost cakes!" It wasn't long before l caught him with his finger in it too!" Thanks for the great tips!! Peace to all.....💜💙💜
Hello my friend
@@codyhatch4607 - Gee, how are you ever going to get cancer if you don’t expose your finger skin to toxic, carcinogenic chemicals in uncured caulking?
Yeah , forcing sealant or caulking into the corners for better penetration and less air gaps seems to be the best way to get a great seal.
Thank you for this video saved me time!!
I liked the extender that you put on your caulk, my caulk could use some extensions in times of need.
You can get cake decorating tools which are basically stainless balls on a little shaft so after spraying soapy water they leave a perfect consistency no matter the angle of the tool. I used it everyday for years.
Yes this or just apply silicone perfectly by having the gun at an angle and cutting the nozzle at an angle. It leaves it perfect too and is much faster, but requires some practice.
@@TheFrontyer It depends on the length of the bead and application. I used to make gfrc kitchen counter tops and the silicone had to have a perfectly consistent over many metres. Nearly impossible to get that perfect when you are physically walking along the form and having to trigger the gun a few times. Not to mention getting 4 tight matching corners.
@@Jim-yk9zw I have applied probably 20-30 meters of silicone in one stretch without issue. But that was down at the floor so smaller incosistensies are not visible unless you lay down. On a kitchen I would definetly use a tool and soapy water afterwards, as incostistensies are more visible.
@@TheFrontyer I imagine many commercial applications of siloconing wouldn't expect perfect joints even though as you said, it is possible to get it quite nice. Half the time non tradies or the clients in those situations wouldn't even know what they were looking at to expect the cleanest joint. I have seen some absolute dogs breakfasts on some sites in the past though.
Why not just use a proper caulk spatula? A ball-shaped tool only allows a specific bead size. With a proper tool, you get adjustability In spreading out the bead correctly, regardless of irregularities in the surface or your ability to apply a perfect bead.
amazing skills 👍
こういった技を惜しみなく伝えてくれる人は、素人にとって神でございます。
I enjoy life hacks like these. Nice work!
You dont have to cut a 1/4" tip for an 1/8" gap. The angle can depend on the shape of the gap you are cutting all the way to personal preference. Only time I have ever cut the V notch in my tip is on a windshield replacement. Never in a home or commercial construction atmosphere
Eu corto o bico em 45 graus e aplico, e bem preciso passar o dedo ou qualquer coisa, fica perfeito. Além de colocar a gun na posição correta para aplicação. Quando existe um obstáculo como torneira, comece a aplicar da parte de trás da torneira para as extremidades.
Pretty slick - thanks a lot!
Thats good idea. I will use on my daily works... thanks ))

I have found with cauking that the key is to insure the caulk penetrates the seam. Therefore once the caulk is applied exterior pressure should be applied to the caulk to force it into the seam. I will not be critical of anyone else's methods however for me non water soluable caulks I find look the best by taping off the seam with painters tape. Applying a large bead of caulk pushing it in with my finger or a forming tool coated with windex ,keeping a waste container nearby while using paper towels to wipe excess caulk off my finger or tool and quickly disposing of the paper towels not allowing too much silicone or other non water soluable caulks to get all over me or the area I am caulking. Then pulling the painters tape working from top to bottom and disposing it in the waste container as it is pulled off in a carefull and smooth manner.For water soluable I use a damp rag and a bucket of water with some fine tools such as a nail punch and a damp cloth to neaten up the corners. I follow the same method only do not tape off surfaces except on occasion and use the damp cloth to wipe off excess. Caulk.To each there own and I am certain some of you guys are excellent free hand caulkers so I respect your technique if it works good for you and you end up with a neat and stable seam. Cleaning your caulk seam is very helpful and using alcohol for the final wipe down will help because it drys rapidly. On old tubs and wet areas cleaning thoroughly is a must before alcohol wipe down. Using a razor blade scraper or painters tool to dig out old caulk before you begin your cleaning process .Having a shop vac handy to suck all the fine debris out of the work area and the tub or drain area helps alot and taping off the drain below where you are working or covering it in some manner is always wise.
Hyy my friend
Obviously done for comedic effect...
...Or My Thesis Paper on Caulking Joints...
@DavidVJones Actually not David which may even be more funny 🤣😂🤣
To get a perfect silicon or any other sealant line, all you have to do is press the middle finger of your left hand down on the nozzle tip as you draw it along and you pump the gun with your right hand, or vice versa. The sealant is forced well into the gap by your finger pressure and there is nothing to clean up afterwards. The only slight drawback is that you need to use both hands as you make your sealant line and occasionally this can be awkward if there is not enough room. You also have to clean your finger regularly, and you have to watch out for splinters or sharp bits in the material you are sealing, (e.g. laminates) which can nick your finger as it moves along the joint. I invented this technique and have used it for many years as a handyman and painter. It is by far the fastest and neatest way to apply sealant from a gun.
You "invented" the trick that all caulkers use to get a finished bead without taping? Its called a "speed bead", it's been around longer than we've been alive pal.
il will try. i hate to do the silicon.
@@dee.f88 Okay, I went too far claiming I invented it. But I never learnt it from anyone. And I have to say that none of the many tradesmen that I introduced this method to over many years had heard of it before or worked it out for themselves. Which is surprising, seeing how easy and obvious it is. As for your claim that it has been around longer than we have been alive, well, maybe you but not me. Caulking guns and tube/nozzle delivered caulking materials were not in general use when I was a young man, that's for sure. It was all putty and elbow grease. Silicone? Not.
@@bernarddavis1050 your rebuttal was respectable. Valid points, a fair argument and even acknowledged your wrongdoing in the exaggerated claim of inventing the speed bead. I respect you and will not trouble you with any more unnecessary comments.
I've never heard of that technique or seen it done either, sounds like a cracking idea. I use a lot if caulk too, I wonder if it will work for that too.....
Thank you so much for sharing. Much appreciated 😁
Thnks sir
OUTSTANDING IDEIAS!!! MANY THANKS FOR THAT!!! YOU ARE THE ONE!
As a professional glazier....we always pushed the bead, not dragging it. Done correctly the tip flattens the bead and smoothed it out.
😊😊👍
If you cut the tip perpendicular and drag it with the gun going ahead, you get a convex bead with irregularities depending on how consistent you apply pressure on the handle. If you hold the gun perpendicular to the direction of travel, you get something like a chamfer shaped bead, with better filling of the root because you can force the material directly into the corner. If you run the gun pointing slightly in the direction of travel, you get a concave bead which runs tangent into the adjacent surfaces and has the best bang for buck ratio. If you keep your pressure and the angle of the gun somewhat consistent, you always get the same cross section based on the tip shape. And the root is filled because you're pushing the material into the corner.

@@repentoryouwilllikewiseper8741 Do you know anything other than your holy book? Ever read some literature about logic?
This guy knows. I always think the spray bottle is a bad idea as well as it runs behind the silicone then smearing it after meaning it won’t adhere properly to the tiles. Your better off using a stick that’s been soaked in washing up liquid.
@@Georgous92 Yeah never spray, only dab the tool in soapy water. And prepare the surfaces by cleaning (remove dust and grease) and maybe roughing them up a little with sanding paper if necessary, depending on the materials involved.

This is great. To get behind taps without a piece of hose you can stack the nozzles onto each other if you have 2 or 3 tubes/ nozzles and tap them together acting like an extension tube/ nozzle or macdonalds straw.

@@highgatehandyman6479 they're called "Reech flexible silicone and caulking nozzles". Only a fiver, when you need them, like you say, they're invaluable. If you're from the UK screwfix do them.
@@jezjukes good to know mate cheers.
The first way works fine you just cut the hole too big putting too much caulk on so that it squishes out the sides of your finger. I use a case of caulk at a time painting houses.
I've been cutting the end a caulking tube on an angle for over 20 plus years and your right he did cut it to big. But it's always nice to learn new ways but ill keep doing it the old way. 💯👍
yup never used anything but my finger and spit in 40+ years
I just love the scolding finger. It makes me laugh. And it's very effective.
no muszę w końcu i ja to wypróbować, podoba mi się ta silikonowa metoda
You always come up with great ideas 🔥 very short and clear explanations 👍

This person's work is wonderful. You are a person who understands art. Thank you😎👍
Спасибо большое, очень полезное видео) 👍
So many great ideas here.👍....Thank you for sharing them.🙏
知らないTIPSもあって、勉強になった。ありがとう。
Отличные трюки! 🤗 И без слов всё понятно!
Hello sir
For the last one, if you get a long enough tube you don’t even have to bother going to the job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the ideas and the wagging finger never fails to crack me up
Me too. 😂
This all looks great. I especially like the no music and just the noise.
Супер! Гениально!
Amazon sells a cover you can roll down on your cap to prevent the caulking from drying out. The ones I got are red and work exceptionally well.
I got them in my local paint store
If one is a homeowner and only needs to use caulking occasionally and assuming you desire to have that tube last as long as possible, whew! The you really also need to seal over the big end too. Depending on the caulking and how it's stored, this can keep the contents viable for much, much longer. Ya, I know yada yada. But take a look up the tube sometime and not infrequently you will see scrapings of caulking. This happens when you have applied pressure and sometimes a little squirts out. So this means there is no perfect seal, thus allowing oxygen to get in and that will start cause the contents to harden. By sealing off the big end after use, less oxygen can reach the pushing plug? I simply cut a section out of a shopping bag, enough to cover and extend up the outside of the tube 2" or so then use electrical tape in the middle. Try it sometime I think you will surprised.
Thank you I learned something new.
Thank you Mr. thumb you make my home projects much more easier and you give me confidence so as you always say to us all I will say back to you👍👍👍👍👍. Thats Five thumbs up that’s its like a five star movie the best . so you got five thumbs no middle fingers. Preacher PaulD 🕊❤️🙏✝️👍
Great tips!! Thanks for sharing mate and greetings from Holland, Pat. 👊🏼👍🏼🇳🇱🇺🇦
PUSHING the bead forces material into the joining. PUSHING allows me to see the depth and mounding. PUSHING uses the shape of the nozzle to shape the bead. PUSHING creates a wide deep long-lasting moisture barrier. . This video demonstrates variations of PULLING the bead. PULLING the bead applies a surface coat, without penetration into the joining. PULLING the bead creates gaps for moisture to accumulate.
That’s the problem, to many people just dribble the silicone in gap for fear of an unclean able mess. You really got to gun it into the gap. Then knife of the excess as shown in the video. The wet finger is the final finish. One other technique I was shown to do after finishing is to throw dry tile grout over the bead.
Thank you… I wish I had watched this before I started…. I did a decent job… but this is perfection
Good tutorial video and thanks for sharing .
Another hack is to tape each side of where you shoot the silicone. And remove the tape after you have dragged out the silicone with your finger covered in green soap.
Действительно, очень полезные советы 👍 Спасибо 🤝
особенно про то как залить горловину с клеем другим клеем))
Great video lots of smart ideas thanks for taking the time to make it
Yes I spend 30plus years in glass industry....learn all these triks by doing it.....only practical, wish u were thr to show it early....thx for posting such wonderful video
Instead of dragging the tip, and leaving a superficial bead, I use the gun perpendicular with a square cut tip, or pointing towards the direction of travel for deep joint penetration (and less in top, where it can shrink.
@@gpwcowboyWhat should be used in bathrooms instead of sillicone?
@@hc3d silicone is the easiest to use indoors for a high quality long lasting seal. You can use painters caulk anywhere you plan on having paint, but unpainted it will dry out and discolor. There are many construction sealants that can be used and left exposed, but none that I can think of that tool as easily as silicon. Most other sealants that will do the job are going to require a solvent such as paint thinner to tool out.
Yes!!!!!!
Yaaaasss!!!!!! Exactly!!!! Me toooo!!!!!!! An old painter in the trades showed me that several years ago... and I've been spreading the news and the caulk ever since...... I can caulk wall angle trim for an acoustical grid ceiling, walking stilts , around a school room. In about 2 minutes and less than 1 tube of caulk..... most guys push a baker scaffold around the room with a roll of paper towels, it takes them an hour and 4 or 5 tube of caulk... and swear they're the best caulker in the world... but thats union work ....I guess..😆
@@hc3d plumbers like Poly seamseal because it trims out quick. I often use silicone for toilet to floor seam. Alex plus over shower/sheetrock joint since it'll be painted anyways. And Dap 2.0 for heavy duty bath caulk, but needs to be trimmed and cleaned with MS or thinner, or you will have a big sticky mess to contend with.
Thanks👍
I really enjoy the way you film the video! AWESOME!
Super useful tricks! What a genius! 😀
