Always Use Water Clean Up Caulk On Fixtures!
What happens here
The presenter continues to refine the caulk line, wiping along the edge of the tub spout and the tile with his wet finger to smooth out the caulk and remove additional excess. He demonstrates how to clean the sponge by squeezing it under running cold water, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly rubbing the caulk into the sponge to prevent chunky pieces from going down the drain, which could lead to clogs. He repeats the finger-wiping and sponge-cleaning process multiple times until a clean, smooth, and even caulk line is achieved around the spout. He reiterates that the clear caulk will dry completely clear, leaving a seamless finish.
Goal: Continue to smooth and clean the caulk line around the tub spout and tile using a wet finger, regularly rinsing the sponge under water to remove collected caulk.
