What happens here
Inspect areas with existing caulk, especially around windows and doors. If old caulk has bulged, cracked, or is no longer adhering properly, use a 2-edge knife or a caulk removal tool to carefully cut it out. The goal is to create a clean, V-shaped or U-shaped channel free of debris. This is crucial for the new caulk to achieve a strong, durable bond. Ensure all loose material is removed before proceeding.
Goal: For areas with existing caulk that has pushed out or deteriorated, use a 2-edge knife or a dedicated caulk removal tool to cut and remove the old material. This creates a clean channel for new caulk application.
