What happens here

Prepare the chosen caulk by cutting the tip of the caulk tube at a 45-degree angle. This angle helps the caulk lay flat on the surface and ensures it fills the gap efficiently. Next, prepare a caulking sponge by thoroughly wetting it with water and wringing out any excess. This damp sponge will be crucial for the 'sponge caulking' method. Insert the caulk tube into a standard caulk gun, ensuring it is properly loaded and ready for application.

Goal: Set up tools and materials for caulk application

Tools and materials

Caulk Gun — To dispense the caulk from the tube
Caulking Sponge — For smoothing the caulk bead and wiping excess; wet and wrung out
