Caulking with Backer Rod

What happens here

After all the caulk has been applied and tooled, conduct a thorough final inspection of all the sealed areas. Check for any missed spots, uneven beads, or areas where excess caulk might have been left behind. Clean up any remaining caulk residue or dirty water with the damp sponge or a rag to leave the work area tidy.

Goal: Ensure a complete, clean, and effective caulking job.
