Please... someone take it. My arms are so cramped, neither of my workers have shown up in a week, and I've got 2,000 linear feet of trim to paint by Friday. Please.

Professional question, do the best caulkers have beady eyes?

can't get that thing to squirt uniformly, just blobs and gaps

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Use your finger to smooth your caulk into those gaps.

Moisten your finger to create a glide that makes smoothing easier. The moisture prevents the caulk from sticking to your skin, which, let’s face it, is a better option than scrubbing your hands in shame later.

Press your finger into the caulk at a slight angle. This promotes a smooth surface while removing excess caulk.

Why not use a guitar pick or similar caulking applicator?

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Manual or tool, either method works, take your pick.

My caulk is showing?

use a wet rag between your finger and the caulk. keep it wet and it will make some nice smooth lines

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

can tell you're good with your fingers

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Fingering is alright but have you ever had your caulk claw hammered?

[–] cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The battery-powered ones are supposed to be life altering. Perfect uniform beads every time.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

They are pretty nice, and since the one I used was like 15 years ago, I'm sure they're even better now.

Ah, that PT Cruiser caulk!

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
