What happens here
Immediately after applying the caulk, use a damp sponge to smooth the caulk bead. Gently wipe along the bead, pressing it into the gap and removing any excess. Wring out the sponge into a bucket of water frequently to keep it clean and prevent spreading caulk unnecessarily.
Goal: Smooth the applied caulk and remove initial excess.
