Prepare the caulk tube by cutting its opening. Use a utility knife to cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle. Make sure the opening is small to allow for a thin, controlled bead of caulk. After cutting the angle, 'square off' the top of the nozzle with the knife to create a flat, 'shoe-like' shape. This specialized cut helps guide the caulk and makes smoothing easier during application.
