You must have caulked or seen real caulking this guy is a wanker

@@WayneBelcher-tc5pd You had them caulking over recessed joints in stack bond brickwork??? Why? I would have had a mock brick joint to caulk but not a perfect thing like Engish brickwork I would have the typical No Standards American style awful splash job control joint all over the place and then I would have a perfect control joint to show what happens when you have No respect for the trade and worse it’s your own union but as I was told decades ago by A REAL TOP GUN CAULKER that caulking should not be part of the bricklayers union because they have way more complicated possibly toxic with all the real solvents etc and the ladders and everything else that primadonnas line dog trowel hands THATS right not bricklayers like in England American bricklayers are barely trowel hands by their standards and I know I’ve seen how much better faster cleaner and higher standards all around and I worked with the very best caulkers and I always had a lot of respect for them even though I did more masonry stuff than caulking which when done right ( mixing cans not sausage tube junk) it’s way more of a skill than line dog brick laying that any monkey can do THE ABSOLUTE HARDEST THINGS I EVER HAD TO CAULK WAS NO STANDARDS SPLASHED UP CONTROL OR EXPANSION JOINTS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MISSING MORTAR AT EVERY COURSE OR MISSING MORTAR ON WINDOW BRICK SIDES WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE TRICKY TO CAULK JUST THE JOINT AND NOT ALL THE HOLES EVERYWHERE IN THE SHIT BRICKWORK AND APPRENTICE SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH BRICKLAYERS THAT THEY HAVE TO TOOL THE SIDE AND BACK CORNER OF THE BRICKWORK SO CAULKING CAN SEAL THE JOINT AND ITS NOT THE CAULKERS JOB TO SHINE YOUR SHIT AND I EVEN ASKED A GOOD BRICKLAYER ABOUT IT AND HE WAS MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT HE PROBABLY HAS DONE IT MANY TIMES LEAVE IT TO THE CAULKER TO FILL THE HOLES OR COVER OVER BAD LAZY BRICKWORK AND THAT REALLY SHOULD BE TAUGHT SINCE YOUR IN THE SAME F in UNION SO YOU HAVE NO RESPECT OR CONSIDERATION OR “ COURTESY “ WHICH IS A WORD THAT DISAPPEARED LONG AGO THE HARDEST JOB I EVER DID TO TRY AND LOOK GOOD WAS SPEED BRICKWORK WITH NO COURTESY WIDOWS TOO SMALL OR OPENING IS TOO BIG HUGE OPENINGS VOIDS CAVITIES THE WHOLE WINDOWS REALLY NEEDED TO BE FITTED AND FILLED PROPERLY LIKE IN ENGLAND OR ANYWHERE ELSE BUT USA NO STANDARDS AND THOSE CONTROL OR WHATEVER JOINTS NEED TO BE CUT STRAIGHT BY THE SLOB BRICKLAYERS WHO EXPECT ME TO MAKE THEIR SQUIGGLY JOINTS LOOK STRAIGHT AND THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE BIG JOB AS AN APPRENTICE HAD TO PLUMB STRAIGHT LINES AND CUT EVERY F in joint for the top guns but no one ever did that for me but really it should be the bricklayers taking time to try and do better and over in other countries I see them lay brick right to the white foam expansion material which runs all the way through ( not shoving foam rod in) and then they leave it like that NO CAULKING and that’s way better for the building and looks better left back a little. Buildings that should be grout or mortar joints are being caulked all over Albany NY area for decades now and it’s just So Fucken dumb and really makes USA look insane literally reverse engineering the system like the wankers think they’re smarter than the original architects and engineers and that’s Americans Arrogance There’s skyscrapers four inch thick marble or stone and NYS has been grinding out and caulking those grout joints for decades those buildings are just like tile work only much thicker and all the grout has been ground out so only the hardware and grout on the back is all THATS holding them so the life time of the building got destroyed and I was a part of caulking grout joints and I knew it was wrong wrong wrong so wrong but that’s all there was for work unless I was willing to travel. NYS capital building was caulked maybe back in the 70s and I don’t know who started the insane reverse engineering of 1800ss buildings but that’s sinful and they caulked it all meanwhile NO ONE BUT ME SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NO JOINTS IN THAT BUILDING THOSE ARE STONE ON STONE AND THE FRONT CORNER EDGES WERE CHANFERED A QUARTER INCH SO WHEN THEY ARE POINTED PROPERLY WITH A DRY DRY MIX IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NO JOINTS BECAUSE THERE REALLY ISNT THEY ARE ONLY CHANFERED CORNER EDGES AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO WANKERS BUT THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT AND PROBABLY STILL THINK THAT THEY WERE CAULKING OR POINTING JOINTS AND THEY WERENT SO THE NYS CAPITAL WENT FROM MORTAR TO CAULK AND BACK TO MORTAR ( and on the stairways Bac to caulk again) I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO A GUY IN ENGLAND AND HE SAID BLOODY HELL ITS A INSANE ASYLUM OVER THERE AND COMPARED TO ENGLAND AND ALMOST ANYWHERE ELSE IT IS AND I COMMENTED ON THAT DUMB CAULKING OVER MORTAR JOINTS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SO MUCH OF IT BUT NOT OVER RECESSED MORTAR IN STACK BOND OR ANY KIND OF BRICKWORK AND IT DOESNT SURPRISE ME A LITTLE CAULK AND PAINT WILL MAKE IT WHAT IT AINT IS OUT OF CONTROL MOST STUFF I SEE CAULKED REALLY SHOULD NOT BE SIDEWALKS DONT NEED CAULKING AND IT ONLY CAUSES POSSIBLE DAMAGE CONCRETE WAS STILL GREEN WHEN CAULKED ( I’m guilty of that many times over working for caulking companies) expansion material ( the old brown stuff) used to be good enough and I’ve seen it caulked and it blows out and I have an entire huge shopping plaza here and every inch of caulking failed completely blew out and it’s actually a trip hazard all over. THERES WAY TOO MUCH CONFUSION OVER MORTAR AND CAULKING AND THATS PATHETIC AND PITIFUL WE LOOK LIKE MORONS IDIOTS AND CLUELESS WANKERS ANYWHERE ELSE DOING THAT STUPID STUPID SHIT BUT IM GUILTY OF IT AND REALLY REGRET EVER LETTING SOME WANKER TELL ME HOW TO DO THE TRADE, I WAS STILL IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE FOR MY AGE SIX YEARS AGO AND COULDNT GET WORK EVEN THOUGH I CAN CAULK AT A HIGH LEVEL POINTING TOO ( which almost no one now knows how to) bricklaying block concrete parging hawk and trowel stuff but now I realize that they don’t want skilled high functioning ( in the trades) White Males WHITE MALES ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BIG TIME AND THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THE ONLY REAL RACISM IS AGAINST WHITE MALES AND I DEFY ANYONE TO CHALLENGE THAT FACT THE RACIST LIBERAL TRASH RUN UNION LIKES TO CREATE A JOBS FAKE TEACHERS LIKE THE YOUNG BLACK GIRL WHO IS A CAULKING TEACHER THAT SHIT IS DRIVING US OLD CAULKERS TO WANT BLOOD WE WORKED HARD HUMPING FORTY FOOT LADDERS HANGING SWINGS RIGGING AND RUNNING AND GUNNING WAY MORE PERFECT AND SEALED FOOTAGE AND WE ALL GOT PUT OUT OF WORK BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND SPECIAL NEEDS CREATE A JOB AND ALL THE OTHER CORRUPT SLEAZY RACIST LIBERAL SHIT AND IF THE UNION WHERE EVER THINKS THAT THERE ISNT MEETINGS AND RALLIES AND GUNS GIVEN AWAY AND TALK OF CIVIL WAR?? Liberals are so spoiled rotten to the core about getting away with All kinds of racist shit against white males like there is no such thing as racism as long as it’s against white Males WELL SHIT JUST MIGHT NOT BE ALL KOOM BYE YA AS THEY THINK AND IVE GOT DECADES OF PROOF OF LIBERALS UNION INTENTIONALLY DESTROYING BUILDINGS AND CHARGING TAXPAYERS ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY SHIT AND I WILL UNLEASH ALL THE UNBELIEVABLE SHOCKING ( in any other countries) AWFUL UNACCEPTABLE HORRIBLE WORK EXTREMELY BAD DANGEROUS SCAFFOLDING ETC OH YEAH PAYBACK TIME BITCHES TOECUTTER IS COMING TO EXPOSE THE LIBERAL RUN DISASTER AND RACIST TRASH AGENDA

@@WayneBelcher-tc5pdYeah I know what your saying with that I think, But There are Some Brick and Windows that are just Awful craftsmanship either the Brick opening is just Way too big or they measured wrong and ordered the wrong size windows and There’s No way that you could do the backer rod stick thing. The Windows are literally Too far back There is No Return just a Huge opening where you can literally see inside the cavity wall. Having No Inspectors on jobs was a real problem back then and it’s worse now Entire building window systems are really flim flam sometimes Old buildings had Standards with tight fitting everything

@@WayneBelcher-tc5pd No offense and I’m not trying to be a U tube complainer or Troll or Whatever. I’m stating Facts about what I had to go through just to even Begin to understand how really complicated caulking is ( compared to almost anything masonry) We mixed bulk compound activator and color with a low speed drill. Dealt with primers Toxic solvents and many other things that sausage users are clueless about. If I mixed a can like you did way back when I was an apprentice Id get my balls busted So Bad! No caulking trowel? I was criticized Big time then for doing a way better job mixing! As the old saying goes “ All things relative…… “ I would absolutely be Fired from at least 2 different major caulking specialty companies for doing work that’s better than what you did! I’m stating Facts not hating! Standards are obviously Way Way lower in the industry now and possibly different from one company to another? I worked for one guy who demanded absolute perfection even by top gun standards he was Too Much. He Fired 12 different guys in a matter of months and would even call the union hall and Really Complain about the complete lack of quality and speed etc and some of them were Way Way better caulkers than Anyone I’ve seen on Any of these videos. I worked 30 plus years in the specialty skills ( actually Doing the work to Our high standards) and there’s Nobody Even close to as Critical and demanding that the caulkers were THATS All they did There really Never was an industry Standards with caulking ( even though some say it) It was the Top gun level Mechanics who Created the Standards for the company and some other even big companies didn’t have standards anywhere near as demanding. The fact that the bricklayers union makes clueless 2nd year apprentice girls instructors Who have absolutely No skills No experience Can’t run the gun or knife or even load the gun ( bulk) Really is an Insult to all the really hard working caulkers who spent decades getting more knowledge and better faster more skilled etc. This Woke broken special needs affirmative action racist liberal run nation is all about diversity and filling quotas and “ creating jobs “ which means putting White Males that are high functioning ( sometimes) and skilled through generations Out of Work to make room for special needs babies and create a job programs. I’ve been Completely Discriminated against Because I’m White many times over the last 10 years that I tried to stay employed I’ve applied to jobs that I’m literally by far the most seasoned qualified capable Fairly Vast array of specialty skills etc and I was not hired if some completely Clueless diversity girl or “ minority “ needs a job creation. USA is an absolute pitiful joke compared to the uk England and so many other countries. Clueless little black girl gets year round teaching gig caulking and is Beyond Clueless While actual caulkers who can run and tool over 1000 feet a day ( ground work) get completely discriminated against but there’s No such thing as Racial discrimination against white men in this Double Standards No standards nation. You Sir, have had an Extremely Sheltered life in the caulking industry if you think that your work is even close to being acceptable! These videos really show how much more difficult Real caulking is and how completely Clueless Americans are to their own systems

Colorado Steel Sash Company in Seattle. Ask for the large roller knife.

You can use a packing knife works better

I agree. There are many applications of sealant where tape is required. Such as storefronts and entrances. Many times when wet-sealing around windows (after cutting back the failing gaskets) tape creates a straight line as seen from the inside. The purpose of the video was to show the level of skill that is attainable with practice.

Taping is for those who really shouldn’t be caulking Worked decades on and off for big legit caulking companies. If you ever got caught wet tooling finger tooling or taping you would be Fired

@@toecutter1015i bet you’re caulking looks horrible i know my work would look better then anything you can do or have ever seen.

@@vruvalcaba24 you’re clueless and just embarrassing yourself Caulking is a Trade in this country Or at least it used to be and not anything even remotely Close to Any of the Flim Flam Clueless No Skills No Clue Can’t Run the gun can’t knife Can’t Tool Using Tape and Dish Soap and all kinds of other Wet tooling Diluting and just Unbeliavably Stupid No Caulking skills or even a single clue You literally wouldn’t last a day if you did Any of that lick and stick wet tooling and Taping??? It’s not painting It’s caulking Taping is ridiculous and you are literally pulling and breaking whatever sloppy seal you might have had when you pull the tape I would have run and gunned and tooled knifed to perfection like you have obviously never seen before and done way more footage in less time than you take to tape whatever sloppy mess you are up to

@@vruvalcaba24 Caulking is a Trade in this country or it used to be and I worked for quite a few Real Caulking companies for Decades!! Nobody Taped or would ever even think about Wet tooling and all the other flim flam no standards no clue sloppy no sealed mess Your Work is Trash and wouldn’t last a day working for the easiest company that I ever worked for

No offense Sir but you are completely clueless!! This is absolutely unacceptable and unbelievable to anyone who is even mid level caulking skills. Taping?? No one Tapes anything that knows how to caulk. This is a crew of border jumpers wall jumpers whatever Or what others refer to as a Biden Crew Mexicans with the faces all covered up No Green cards No business even being in the country let alone working and Your tax dollars are paying for this absolute Shit show fake news liberal bullshit. I’m an old broken down 63 year old geezer and I would still have 10 times that brick joint footage done without taping anything and actually have a Seal ( which is supposed to be the purpose of caulking) and it would look good by Real caulkers standards. This is absolutely brutal and only America. Unions need to be skills test challenged before allowed to Even Bid on caulking jobs nowadays to expose this corruption liberal racism and everything else that this disaster represents

If you think that this guy’s a good caulker then you don’t know a single thing about the industry sir no offense

to get rid of excess u can backtool it

@@hansel2ss261 yes for sure , trying to work on getting it perfect first go though

@@chyeaOGKush well honestly thats kinda hard, even if i get a nice even bead, instead of just flat tooling i always even if it doesnt need it backtool it, then if it allows use a scraper blade to get the excess off the edge of the bead. If u cant use the scraper blade like on brick ur gonna have to tape the sides

You really have to work with an actual caulker and hope that maybe he teaches you. You cannot learn caulking by watching videos and especially not these disasters

@@toecutter1015 haha yeah man - I found a local company that does high end residential and there work is mint - much cleaner than this.

I have been part of the BAC here in Seattle for over 30 years. It has been a wonderful career. I know that caulkers are referred to often as the unskilled labor. Not many young people say to themselves, I want to grow up and be a Caulker. But, we are very much skilled in our professional installations of sealants of all kinds. We help keep the building dry and mold free. It has been my privilege to work with some of the largest contractors in the world, on some of the tallest buildings in the world, and with many wonderful trade professionals. I have even had the opportunity to work with some very well-known scientists in the world of sealants. This includes people like Jerome Klosowski, one of the lead scientists who invented Dow 795. Andreas Wolf is another lead chemist and scientist from Dow Corning whom I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with. I must say, the Caulking Community has given me a very fulfilling career. Thank you for your nice comment on the video.

These guys are brutal and Wayne is a clown

Wonderful!

The sealant should fill the whole joint top to bottom and in most cases terminates at the end of the substrate being sealed.

They just put full four inch wide half inch thick expansion white foam stuff between brickwork in England and it’s way better and smarter than this sloppy mess

Good sealant, maintenance requires annual inspections. If there’s failed sealant, it must be removed and replaced. It is always good to check with the material manufacturer for the proper sealant replacement.

Learning how to install sealants properly are trained through the Bricklayers Union.

What’s kick ass about it? I’m a retired broken down old geezer and I could have run and knifed that way better and no Fucken tape no one that ever worked as a caulker taped anything

That is awesome

Send me a photo at wayne@uniproseal.com

Sending an email. Thank you!

These guys are not Real Caulkers. I knew plenty of Real caulkers who would caulk and knife ( actually seal) at least 10 of those brick joints in less time than these guys are taking to tape and NOBODY TAPES WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO CAULK!!

What type of joint are you trying to seal?

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038 brick vertical expansion joint, very similar to the one in your video. The current caulk was slathered all over the place and is now cracking on a 17 year old home. Plan is to remove the old caulk and replace with a newer and cleaner looking application. Unsure if backer foam was used, but I plan to use that too, as you demonstrated in your video. Thanks! Edit - I see your recommended caulk below in a previous response. Thanks!

@@BlahBlah-em2ed Thank you for the clarity. In your case a premium polyurethane sealant will work fine. Something like Sika 1A or Sika 15LM

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038 great. I’m familiar with that product. Much appreciated. Good day Sir!

Yes I have, but in order to make it look decent we recessed the joint slightly. then, to match the joinery we sanded the joint.

Don’t give up! With practice you will learn just how much to shoot and how to perfectly tool straight lines. You can do it!

Caulking correctly and with knives is the most difficult of all the specialty skills and takes way longer to learn than anything masonry and many other things. If you stuck your finger in the caulk on any job I’ve ever been on any got caught You are Fired Wet tooling and with dish soap also Unreal You’re Fired No Standards USA just piss on them while you’re at it

There are several distributors, or suppliers of the specialty materials here in Seattle. The easiest way for you to find a distributor near you would be to go online and visit the website of a sealant manufacture. There, they list those who distribute their materials nationwide. I hope this helps.

The tape should always be pulled immediately after tooling.

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038 whats your thoughts on pine sticks and soap water? i notice you only use the tools you invented (cool btw). i ordered a pair on amazon

@@FacePalmTheWorldArmy I am familiar with pine-sticks or whittle-sticks as they are sometimes called because they are carved into a shape that fits the joint. Just about everything has been used to tool sealants, including potatoes. Using a modern tool that is tapered to fit the joinery is preferred. As for using soapy water, dry tooling is ALWAYS required to ensured adequate adhesion. Sometimes caulkers will use soapy water to better the appearance. This is also called slicking the sealant. This is acceptable provided that dry-tooling is first. However, a skillful caulker should seldom need to use soapy water to achieve a good appearance.

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038 awesome, thank you so much for your advice and video.

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038 do you build the brick wall then cut the expansion joints or do you build the brick wall with the expansion joint in place? Look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.

Caulking is a skill. An art when done properly. Only a few of us have mastered the technique of applying sealants in all forms of construction. From sidewalks to tilt-up, to curtail wall, and structurally glazed systems. I have taken my skills to a higher level in that I teach all applications to the next generation, working with bulk sealants of all kinds, organic and inorganic in all applications.

@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038You most definitely haven’t mastered it Sir. I would absolutely get fired from a few different caulking companies for taking as long as you and then Not even close to the standards caulking finish

@joshyjosh8042 i bet i can caulk way way better than you lol

The weep tubes were purposely covered. All the gaskets in the window system were cut back to install a silicone bead creating “rain screen” system known as “wet sealing.”

Ha ha caulking the weeps shut I’ve seen even the best caulkers do it
