Great vid but being British I think I'll wait until I've mastered that paint roller gizmo before I try this. :)

@pezza39817 you are fucking English not british you idiot! And also Uk builders are bigest shit in europe. Have you nice day. Yee bu nuu buu yee buu bo buu....Litle britan-that true about you.

@Sebastian7224 - huh?

No discussion of removing microscopic film of old silicone caulk - without doing this new caulk won't adhere! Also, all silicone has to be applied at the same time. Otherwise, new lines won't adhere to old.

@ccarcohen - Have not really had a problem with caulk not adhering to itself, but ding the whole job within the hour is likely a good idea.

I tried your method on a new granite counter top and it turned out perfectly

Shit video. Masking tape is common sense and not a secret trick :) also why keep saying caulk ? Silicone and caulk are different products and this guy wasn't using caulk!! Thanks for the entertainment though.

Hey, brit, it is pronounced: "cull, call, cawl, caulk".

NOT COCK. 

Loopy wanker.

The caulk scraping/cleaning, and especially using masking tape were just the tips I needed to make a clean, even line that looks professionally done. I often squeeze too much caulk out, but having the tape line and your finger to smooth it out, made for crisp lines and even coverage. Thanks for taking the time to upload this, and surely by now you are ignoring the youtube weirdos and children.
