  • Winter is here and it's time to ensure that your home is protected against the harsh cold weather. Checking the caulking around windows and doors is a must.

  • They sell a device for cheap that removes the old stuff and the other side has a wedge device for smoothing out the new application. They had two models at home depot for under 10 bucks.

  • If you use a wet finger it makes a lot smoother bead and it is easier to wash off.

    I just keep a damp sponge in my other hand to wipe the excess on and to re-wet my finger.
