By Julie Peri–
Have you ever wondered how carpenters make your interior and exterior trim look seamless? Caulking is the secret! On almost all trim, caulking is applied at the joints to give the effect that the trim is one solid piece. Caulking is also applied to windows, showers, tubs, and sinks as a waterproofing agent.
To apply caulking, first you need a caulking gun and a tube of caulk. Cut the tip of the tube with a utility knife—it’s always better to start with a smaller hole. Then you can apply a bead of caulk in the areas you want it. People have different methods for smoothing out the caulking; we like to use a damp rag or sponge. Let the caulking air dry, and voila! That’s all there is to it. Join us for more fun tips and tricks in person and online.
