i'm leaving now for home depot....kinda excited, actually.
i'm gonna find the cutest guy there and say, "do you have any good calk?"

i knew there was a reason i liked these little DIY projects!

 

way to f-ing funny have fun on your caulk search

 

As an avid DIYer I suggest you use a 100% silicone cauld specifically for bath/shower. After removing all the old caulk, clean the area with an alcohol pad to remove any residue. After applying, the damp cloth trick will not work well with silicone caulk, the best thing is spit, yes saliva. Put an amount on your finger tip and smooth out the caulk. The damp cloth trick and anything using water, sponge only works well with laytex cauls sincethey arewater soluable.

 

Wow this got out of hand in a hurry.

 

agree 100% with Beef. use spit and fingers for really friction free caulk work. After experiencing it 100's of times, friction free and smooth is so much better and the outcome is satisfaction. (for real).

 

i feel much better now that i got some calk.

...and railrunner...you seem to know all to well. thank you for all the advise.

i have silicone calk and i'm off to work on it now.

good thing i had this project to do....it kinda spiced up OT after a long run of boring threads!!

 

dont forget the pics !

 

ahhh.... Innuendo!

Good luck caulking! I'm an avid caulker as well, I prefer the spit and finger approach as well. let us know how it turns out.

 

yes we most see how you handled that caulk so pics please.

 

ok, so i thought i'd tape it off in case i was really messy, but it wasn't that bad......HOWEVER...
i thought i had white calk and i guess i was picking up so many different calks, i got the wrong one!!![:@] so back out to get more calk.
i used it anyway since the crack is deep and pushed it way back in there. there's enough space left to use the white calk so it looks nicer. i'll do that tomorrow.
