What happens here
Begin by gathering all necessary tools and materials. The video shows a tube of 'Big Stretch' caulk, a standard caulk gun, a small tool (likely a utility knife or caulk tube cutter), and a yellow sponge. The person first appears to use the small tool to prepare the caulk tube (e.g., cut the tip), then inserts the caulk tube into the caulk gun, making sure it's properly seated and ready for application.
Goal: Prepare the caulk tube and load it into the caulk gun.

- Caulk Tube Cutter / Utility Knife — To cut the tip of the caulk tube for dispensing
