    There are so many videos out there showing caulking, tiling, etc. But you guys show what's needed and explain why your doing it the way you do to obtain the desired end results. Thank you Tommy's Yard!

    Sir, Thank you so much. For the very first time in my whole life I have been able to silicone the countertop in my kitchen, without creating a real mess. Your method works well, it is clean, and really nice to do. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Thank you from Québec, Canada! Best, Pierre

    Yes the silicone is waterproof. The curing time will depend on the product itself so always read the manufacturer's instructions. I would say at least 12 hours

    Thank you for this video! For a single mom doing the remodeling myself, I love these type of instructional videos. I did not know the secret about the mineral spirits, thank you! Very simple and easy to follow....The tape makes sense to me, even if people skip this step. You don't have to go back over the caulk line to make it "straight"...Awesome!

    What also helps is running the bead of silicon and then spraying over the line with some soapy water from a spray bottle filled with dishwashing detergent and water "1:10 mix". This prevents the silicon from smudging or sticking to the tiles around the join. Thus eliminating the need for masking tape
