Refine Caulk Line and Remove Excess with Tool

What happens here

After the initial smoothing, use a specialized caulking tool or a painter's multi-tool to scrape away any remaining excess caulk from the adjacent surfaces like the siding or concrete. This creates a very clean edge and prevents dried caulk from interfering with future paint jobs or looking messy.

Goal: Achieve a sharp, clean caulk line by removing stubborn excess.
