exposed to all that. So, when I'm caulking right here, I'm caulking, I'm creating a large enough bead that the water will run off. It kind of creates a profile right there that it'll run off.

I want these corners to be, you know, extremely full right here. I'm going to come down with my glove. I'm not going to push very hard cuz I don't want it to smooth out. I kind of want it to look like grain. I moved it out right here. You don't have a lot of time cuz the caulking start to dry really fast in the sun. I push it down. I'm filling it in just like that. If I have any excess, I'm going to wipe this excess off someplace. I never like don't ever wipe this on your clothes. It's one of the um rules of the thumb. That's why my clothes look like they do cuz I do not get rid of excess caulking on me. I'll find good places to put it, useful places to put it.
