I wanted to throw this out there, after reading DangerMouse's Tip's and Tricks Thread (http://www.diychatroom.com/f2/diy-tips-tricks-34534/) and wondering on caulking specifically, I would think a bunch of you have your little tips and tricks after years of doing it...
-Any prep tips other than clean/smooth surface? Taping the area? Surface prep?
- Anybody have any tips to get the caulk even and smooth?
- Avoid/cleanup mess on nearby tiles/floor/walls/fingers/hands/face?
- After you're done a line, you know how the caulk gun keeps pushing more caulk out? Any clever ideas to stop that?
- Judging proper caulk bead size (i.e., cutting the tip of the tube)?
- General knowledge from those who have it?
I'm prompted to post this because all the above has provided me with some frustration the last day or 2... :wallbash:
