Summer time with Sashco. https://www.sashco.com/the-idaho-painter/

What happens here

Load a tube of exterior caulk, such as Sashco Big Stretch, into a caulk gun. For a new tube, carefully cut the tip of the caulk tube at a 45-degree angle using a utility knife or a dedicated caulk tool. The size of the opening should match the width of the gap you intend to fill. After cutting, puncture the inner seal of the caulk tube with the long needle or rod typically found on the caulk gun. Before application, ensure that the exterior surfaces to be caulked are clean, dry, and free of any loose debris or old caulk for optimal adhesion.

Goal: Prepare the caulk and gun for application
