US DIYer here. Really enjoyed the video, plenty of people are scared of working on their homes because of how guarded the knowledge is. I appreciate these videos because directions for these types of simple tasks are assumed, but there is always room for learning new/different techniques and/or tips. I, for one, started caulking without cutting the tube open for the longest time and just cutting the plastic tip and cranking down on the caulking gun until it burst open. I had wondered for a long time if it was supposed to be that difficult to do, but I didn’t realize you needed to do both because most tubes don’t tell you how to access the product properly (on most construction/maintenance products). It was only after watching something on YT that I discovered how foolish I was, and I am less concerned about doing a caulking job around the home. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you so much! I am so new to this (and clueless) I didn’t even realise I needed a caulking gun to go with the caulk I bought. I’ve just got one and a profiling tool.

Your videos on these subjects have shown me how to improve significantly, especially with the use of the scraper tools (which I've now ordered).

I enjoyed the detail in this video. I haven’t done a lot of caulking myself, but when I did some on a project I was doing, I experimented with a couple of ways of finishing. One way that gave good results was pushing the caulk along. Took a little practice to keep the pressure on the gun steady so the caulk flowed at a constant rate. I cut the tip at 45°, then squeezed the caulk out a bit to get started, then slowly pushed the tip along keeping just a little of the caulk visible at the tip. The back part of the cut nozzle then basically formed a concave bead automatically. I usually needed to finish it a bit with my finger or a tool, but there was very little waste.

I learn so much from these videos which has helped with my own d.i.y. attempts, thanks!

I was doing some caulking today, and remembered the time I watched your video about how to caulk. I didn't remembered any tips or tricks 😅 but missed you and your videos. Now it is very strange that you posted a video with a similar topic exactly at this time ! 😮 I also modified my silicon gun as below: I changed the stepped rod with a same length screw and added two bolts, now I can run the silicon gun with drill on low speed ( It is best to put the gearbox in low torque screw driver setting to have more control ). With this modification the gun has a very constant supply rate, and also easier to use. Just keep the gun sturdy ( or add two rods to keep the drill) so the drill or gun doesn't turn instead of supplying caulk.

Made rather a mess and have a longer gun on order before I start on the next tube of compound.

nice video I would also add that the tool used for caulking it save your finger from wear and splinters that is so easy to encounter especially working on timber.

Great in depth video Charlie on one of the most frustrating jobs for the DIY’er. I came across the Kramer tool a few years back and love it. I know people in the trade frown upon it - but like you say unless you are doing this day in day out, we need the tools to help us. A friend who is a glazier fitted a new front door for me last week.
