Refine and troubleshoot caulk application

get back up here to my corner before it dries it starts to dry too much it's going to start to coagulate and your your caulking won't be toolable so I'm going to take clean my sponge and get a little bit of caulking on here because I don't want anything anything on my hands anything on my hands is going to make it so I don't get a smooth bead what I like to say is like with the new guys if they start getting caulking all over the hands it's going to get on the ends of your fingers and stuff and what we call it is caulking boogers and it's gonna cause your finger pad to not be smooth and not give you a good caulking bead another tip is this has always got to be clean your 45 degree angle always always got to be clean every now and then if you're caulking a lot you'll start to get a little tag in on the end of your caulking tube if you're caulking on a rough surface you get that little tag in that'll kind of like mess up your B2 so you can just trim that little tag in right off and then begin copying again there we go start to fill in this corner I always want a little bit more in my Corners so I can make my Corners nice and round so I'm going to start laying it out don't go too fast nice steady speed I'm going to come back tool it once again I can feel the coffee I can feel the pressure I'm putting on it so right here I didn't put enough pressure so I can go back so as I re-wet my hand tool right back over it I'm gonna begin working this corner now I'm gonna get my finger just in the right direction super wet it's gonna make it look a lot better just try to smooth this corner out right here every time you touch the caulking you wanna wipe it off your finger I'm gonna put some up in this corner fill this corner in again working down this Direction one thing is you have to be able to see your caulking tube the angle you have to be able to see the caulking coming out of your gun in order to get the correct amount of caulking on continue to wipe I'm sorry foreign if you make a mistake just take wipe the caulking as much out as you can with a really wet finger and then recaulk it and do it all over again you have especially indoors you do have some working time Outdoors is going to dry and coagulate a lot faster just like that window is sponge caulked
