I LOVE THIS !!!! Great tips - thank yoouuu !!! Great to have such clear demonstrations without all talking & music that others use.

This is the third video I've saved done by this person. Painting edges, reusing old paint brushes and rollers and this one. All of them providing excellent tips and using visuals instead of blah blah blah - talking to me like an idiot - made it so much more pleasant to learn from. Thank you so much!

Best video on 'How to apply Silicone Sealant' by far!

Im 60 yrs old and this kind of stuff goes to show you can still learn something new everyday! I been in construction and remodeling off and on for the last 40 years and never thought of this trick with a caulking gun.Thank you very much.

Fantastic...you are going to save me a ton of time next time I have things to caulk! Thank you so much!

Absolute genius. Thank you for posting I have had a terrible time with caulking. Now with these tips I should never have a problem again.

This is a model instructional video! No jingles, no blabbing! Just Action! Great content! Thank you.

@F JB no I've always been pretty clean with silicone and just used a caulk tool and a rag. So to me I never needed another technique just thought this was a good one. You can step down off your pedestal now. Also saying on the back that you can wash up with soap and water does not show that technique 🤷.

@F JB no silicone doesn't wash off with water and they don't show you that technique on here. Funny there's a bunch of other people who are in the construction business who are saying that this was three good techniques that they showed us. But yes you are right amongst the thousands of comments saying this was a good idea 🤣🤣🤣. If the silicone is already on your skin it's also extremely difficult to get off even with soap and water. I'm obviously talking to a person who works at Wendy's

Got to pipe in on how well these videos are designed. Simple clear instructions. Excellent solutions to common problems.

I dig the abrasive paper hack. Never seen that before. Thanks a bunch for a great no nonsense video.

As a residential painter we always cut the tip at an angle like that, and we kept a bucket of soapy water to soak the rags in we use to wipe our fingers on. It served to both do what you demonstrated and easily wipe the caulk off our fingers. It also dissolved the caulk on the rags into the water which made them endlessly reusable.

I always cut the tip flat, that work better work on limited space , and never need to looks the tip facing wrong side or not, flat or angle still got same result, its about how you put your the angle and speed, sometimes when you doing these so long, both moth make it work,sometimes got the feel adjust speed and squeeze pressure make it work, when i was younger doing these kind of job seal windows and fire wall,around 10 boxes a day, like 120 pcs everyday,start from 69 floor dwon to floor, one time i got prank, they said no lift/elevator today ,need carry few boxes walk up to 69 floor, at one points my right arm way bigger than left arm,then i change to left hand try to balance out,that make me double gunner...? i hate that job, but no complaint, i think when younger way easier pickup or learning skill, i guess kids finish school first at least, i mean too many way, you always finger it out which one work for you ,when i saw this video all the memories back ,haha...sorry for my poor english.

Thank you, that was fantastic. I've done the tape thing with some success. But, I'm very excited to use the sand paper to properly shape the tip! The audio was a nice change-up as well, kinda gave it a 2001 Stanley Kubrick ambience.

What a big help (and ideas)! Thanks for sharing! I always suffer when I use silicone. But I'll try all tricks! 😁

I knew the soapy water trick, I’ve used the tape too, but sanding the tip was new to me 👍👍👍

Actually one of the best videos ever concerning this silicon issue.

That was indeed one of the best under three minute clips. Nicely done ol boy, nicely done👌👌👌

Wish I could give this video more than 5 stars. This is what should be taught to kids in technical & woodwork at secondary. None of your daft graphics nonsense which overlapped the class I had when younger

My home is held together by silicone. I love the stuff but I did not know of these tips. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed instantly.

The masking tape method is reasonable but leaves a very small step at the edge of the bead. The soap and water method is my preferred method. The dressing of the nozzle, into the corner using the wet and dry is something I've not seen before and is such a simple and effective idea. Really impressed with this video. Give yourself a pat on the back.

But be careful, the silicone does not stick to a wet surface. So it is not so good solution. I use the tape version, I draw the material to a minimum thickness at the tape edge. Then comes the soapy water and the last smoothing after removing the tape.

I believe the tape method gives the best seal and adhesion. Getting silicone wet messes it up.

A perfect illustration that it's just as important to learn what not to do, and why, as it is to learn the proper methods, and why...

I like the sand paper trick to shape the dispenser on the tube. Until now, I thought I was the only one who knew you could do this. I had discovered this trick on my own years ago while I was working for a painting company. I was one of only 2 employees that the boss trusted to caulk. The wet surface/finger trick is great too; I usually use a rag for this. The tape trick I'm gonna have to try. 👍

Important there are no gaps in the bead before spraying soapy water. Silicone won’t bond if water is behind it. I roughly smooth it first then apply the spray before the the final smooth.

This is the best version of tips and tricks video. Salute the creator of this video.

To avoid any deviation from "ideal" result I use 45 degree cut dispenser tip + 2 masking tapes + small plastic spoon for the first run (this forms really nice and solid silicon incurvation) + very slight run of soapy finger to finish. The end result might be reviewed by microscope :) Of course this is not for fast and effective daily routines, it's purely DIY for perfectionists :)

Can you please demonstrate how to manage caulking around a corner and also in a corner and up the wall where caulk lines cross/meet up, around tub faucets and spouts and other awkward areas. For those of us who are beginners, these areas are especially problematic partly because of our lack of speed, as the caulk is starting to skim over before we get a chance to smooth it out. Fantastic video!

@utubeape

2 жыл бұрын

The real Professionals cut the nozzle a bit fatter and push the silicon instead of dragging the nozzle, and use the nozzle as the smoothing tool as they go along, without having to go back along the bead. Its hard to imagine, but you have to keep a ball of an even size in the end of the nozzle

Everything in this video shows a bad way of doing this. Cutting the nozzle at 45 degrees means it will apply less force in pushing it inside the edge; soapy water looks nice but means the edge of the silicon won't adhere properly; masking tape will leave a slightly raised edge that, ultimately, will let water sit on it and cause mould. Look up Charles DIYte who shows all of this very well.

These are some good tips but from somebody that uses a lot of caulking while installing Stainglass doors and windows I would have to honestly say that these are very case specific uses. For example if you’re running a bead around a window frame that’s in a brick house or if you have very long runs to make using tape or the hair soap water specifically the soap water on porous surfaces might not be the best tip to use. But on smaller applications on nonporous surfaces yeah good stuff

Wow, just wow. Didn't know about this. I was caulking today and boy what a mess. hahaha next time I'ma apply this technique
