Make the Decision to Apply Sealant

What happens here

Based on the assessment, make an informed decision about where and when to apply sealant. Some joints, like weep holes, are designed to allow water to escape and should not be caulked. Other areas, like siding laps or specific window flashing, might be best left uncaulked to allow for proper drainage and material movement. In the video, the individual debates whether to caulk under a window and an exposed nail head, ultimately deciding to proceed, which in this context, aligns with the goal of weatherproofing. Ensure that for each identified gap, caulking is the appropriate solution.

Goal: After identifying potential areas, decide whether caulking is necessary for each spot, weighing factors like material compatibility and moisture management. The video depicts an internal debate and external consultation before deciding to caulk.
