What happens here

This video demonstrates crucial preparation and application techniques for caulking a joint, specifically focusing on the use of backer rod and precise caulk application. By following these methods, the amount of excess caulk is minimized, thereby reducing the potential for smudges and the subsequent need for extensive post-construction cleanup, including methods like using denatured alcohol for residue removal.

area, here's a piece of backer rod right here. Now, you know, if you get filled it's up with tower tech and it actually, you'll want to both sides, you would expand really well, but if it contracts, it's going to push out a big bolt of caulking, which is what it would look like before, so it's just best to take stuff and some backer rod in there. This will give you a caulking and some backer and just take my knife and cut it off of the end. Stuff that in there. Now, it's also going to take nearly as much as we call it in the height of the hill, and your track is going to have a lot of force and that's when it comes to expansion and contraction, especially our conditions here right now.
