10 year hardware store manager in the 90’s, and a female. Heard & dealt out more 8” spike jokes than you could possibly imagine. My “get the new girl” moment was me & two other employees standing & talking by the front of the store when a women comes in, acting rather exasperated & waving a loaded caulking gun in hand, she says, “My caulk is hard & I can’t get it out!” I look to my fellows, they both snort, turn & walk away! I know I said “Uh, Uh, Uh,” a lot! Not sure after that! Almost smacked a dude once who asked me for a “sex screw”....what?! Oh no you didn’t! I have a sense of humor but damn dude....oh, it’s a real thing?” A “plumb bob” sounded fishy at first. Then keeping a straight face when a women asked if there was such a thing as “super glue remover” because it seemed her son had somehow glued his hand to his uh, well, his “little friend“ if you get my drift. Her lucky day, we had remover, not her son’s “lucky day” cuz that stuff takes off a layer of skin. Ouch. Hardware store vernacular is just one long innuendo after another!

As I’m literally on my floor caulking finishing construction/baseboards, etc. (using Alex Plus, thank God) but I clicked on the video, waiting nervously hoping I didn’t just f-up...🤣 phew 👍 but I originally used your Amazon recommendations so I felt confident I was on the right path.

Hi Katie. Do you ever wonder if YT is listening? The same thing happened to me as well. It’s a Blessing when one is frustrated with a new project, one wants to get perfect, from zero knowledge and tools. Hope your project turned out well.

I've had that gun for 5 years and you just taught me about the cutter and puncture 'features'. Thanks for saving me time looking for a utility knife and screw driver next time I go use it!

You sir, are the gold standard in explaining caulk to us wooden plebs.

This man is the man. I misunderstood those products for so many years, now it is so much clearer! Thank you so much

Very educational. You are amazing! The problem I encounter when I go to Home Depot is that most of the time people who work there do not know their products.

It's like magic. I think, "I need help with...." and one of Jeff's videos answers my question. Stuff in a tube is unpleasantly confusing and mistakes are difficult to fix. Thank you again!

Hi @HomeRenoVisionDIY ! If I can just add something to your great video, LePage Quad Max is a non-solvent base sealant (polymere) that is built for outdoor AND indoor applications. I'm referring to minute 18 to 19 of your video. It should be written Exterior/Interior on the left of the tube, right next to where it states compatible materials.

Yup, just clicked on a 27min long video describing different types of caulking... not once did I think of turning it off, great job JT you took a topic that I'm pretty sure is a category at the AVN awards and made it interesting

Awesome information I didn't know you could just cut tip and go on some caulking....

This video was extremely helpful. I am finishing up my bathroom remodel and wasn't sure what the difference was between the caulk that goes on the baseboards and the one that goes on the tile tub surround. Also, I am rebuilding my raised vegetable garden and needed something to fill in the cracks between the wood siding. Saves a lot of frustration and standing in the caulking aisle for an hour trying to figure out what to use. Thanks for the tutorial Jeff!

You have the best videos I've learned so much, I always check your videos first, because I don't have to watch a million videos to get one answer, thank you for your videos you are awesome.

As a professional painter I'd suggest a dripless caulking gun, the cradle type.yes that was one but you have to hit the thing at the end.. dripless guns stop automatically.. don't use the cutter if it has one, use a utility knife to get a good, clean 45 angle. especially applies when you're trying to do a bead, as he mentioned at the end,on an exterior project such as caulking siding.. if you're applying mastic adhesives it really doesn't matter then.. I love the idea of the removable nozzles.. the GE silicones you see in the big box stores don't have the removable nozzles anymore

we just discovered your videos and we love them. We love to do a lot of DIY and your videos are fantastic. I hope you keep making them for many years to come :)

great job! One you didn't mention was Fire Block Sealant, a water-based, non-combustible draft, smoke and fireblocking sealant

I am glad to see training like that. Getting 6 tubes of the same caulk and getting used to one's preferred is necessary as the crap is frustrating! 😅 Just gluing old boards together to see how well different ones stick. I use 3 foot 2x4s on 3 foot 2x8s. Test them for grip after 48 hours in dark dry climate. Good practice and gives appreciation for adhesive properties. Everytime I can caulk at home it's midnight. I always have fun even though I can't see as well as I'd like! So far I like Lexel clear or white. It's a polymer rubber. I tried 5 to 7 other brands beforehand. This stuff stretches, goes on cold and damp. What's your favorite clear amd white brand? If the crack is big because of various reasons, I like to shove plummers puddy into the crack as a type of backer. Or the thick quality white electrical tape. Or even scrap foam. Depends on crack size.

Great video Jeff, I really wanted a video just like this. You answered all of my questions. Thanks Jeff. 👍👍

Decent video as usuall i would've been awesome if you tried to kina zoom in to each kind so first timers would know what exactly to buy .

most if not all of the lepage products can be purchased in the US but they are sold under the brand "loctite". Same parent company "Henkel" but sold under different names. Also, Loctite's single component canned spray foam "Titefoam" I have found to be superior to great stuff. It seems far more dense and stiff when cured. Unfortunately I don't think the titefoam can be used with that spray foam gun you love so much.

@davidscbirdsall

Жыл бұрын

I came to say this very same thing. When Jeff Thorman picked up the first tube of PL 300 and began talking about LePage, my first thought was that's LocTite PL from Henkel. Henkel also owns Dial soap, Pritt glues, Technomelt Adhesives, Schwarzkopf hair products, and Syoss cosmetics. *Don't mix these products together.*

If its your first time cauking and u have time , mask both sides to the edge, run ur cauk then run ur finger, pull out the mask. U will get a perfect job all the time

Good stuff! I've bought a few tubes of the stuff recently. In Australia, Selley's is the go-to brand. There's about 10 variants of Selleys Liquid nails and 10 variants of 3-in-1 gap filler. 9:20 What a master. Next try juggling some tubes. 9:35 I missed what you did to stop the tube from leaking. I had a big problem with the stuff just oozing out when i put the gun down. I thought my gun was the issue.

I believe he said he sticks a screw in it when he stands it up as shown. He said they're always around on the job to find one.

Well I now know I didn't apply the PL700 adhesive properly and I had no idea about the proper cured silicone for tub surrounds, makes sense why mine is peeling now. Very informative video thanks Jeff!

So glad I watched this. Reviewing the supplies I have for a project and just realized I accidentally grabbed an indoor/outdoor silicone instead of something more appropriate. Whew!

It may be a bit niche but Vulkem 116 deserves a mention for being the best dang waterproofing exterior caulking I've ever come across. Messy as hell though. Maybe more of an RV thing though, where the demands of flexibility and durability are far greater. Anyway, loved the video!

@davidscbirdsall

Жыл бұрын

Vulkem 116 wasn't mentioned in this video is because polyurethane doesn't last very long outdoors or in extreme conditions. More importantly, polyurethane becomes very brittle in the cold where Jeff Thorman and Home Renovations film. Silicone remains pliable, mold resistant, and UV resistant in temperature extremes both in the cold of Canada and in the heat here in the southern US. Otherwise, polyurethane is much cheaper, dries hard, and is great for sealing wood, masonry, and vinyl as well as adhering them to each other. Polyurethane is also a natural organic compound while silicone is a synthetic inorganic polymer.
