Let’s take a moment to thank the creator of this video for allowing us to see the tips without having to sit through hours of useless dialogue with blaring music in the background! This is how every instructional RUclips video should be. 👍🏼👍🏼
Total agree!!
before youtube starting to monetize videos, all "teaching" videos were like this.
Man that was refreshing. Straight and to the point without alot of I love the sound of my voice and I love me dialog. A normal video like this would have been at least 15 minutes and I would have fast forwarded it within 5 seconds. I have to tell everyone about this.
Bravo !
Brilliant
This is the most value packed two minutes and forty-one seconds I've ever seen for caulking. Thank you!
Yes!
Hahah 🤦♂️

I wish other RUclips channels would learn from this. This is how you make an enjoyable video without all the jibber jabber, introduction to my channel etc etc etc. Well done.
I LOVE THIS !!!! Great tips - thank yoouuu !!! Great to have such clear demonstrations without all talking & music that others use.
This is the third video I've saved done by this person. Painting edges, reusing old paint brushes and rollers and this one. All of them providing excellent tips and using visuals instead of blah blah blah - talking to me like an idiot - made it so much more pleasant to learn from. Thank you so much!

Great tips, but more impressive is how well the video was done. To show us the results from different choices makes it so clear how well the tips work. Thanks for taking the time to share the information in such a powerful way!! 👍

Yea and no bs intro just to the point
You don't need sound. Just watch the video and everything is clear.
😂 Powerful way?!
Fantastic...you are going to save me a ton of time next time I have things to caulk! Thank you so much!
Absolute genius. Thank you for posting I have had a terrible time with caulking. Now with these tips I should never have a problem again.
The nozzle and corner mounted sandpaper trick was a totally new one to me; thank you! :-)
Awesome tutorial. Súper applications. Every homeowner should watch this video. Thank you
This is a model instructional video! No jingles, no blabbing! Just Action! Great content! Thank you.
Thank you, I feel I can now do around the bath myself. Technique is everything. Doing it right!
Thanks for this, you helped a lot of people by sharing these tips. Just the other day I had to re seal around my kitchen sink and bath, wish I knew this sooner 🤦🏻♂️... Silicon can be VERY frustrating to work with. Those soapy water and masking tape tips are winners! 👏🏻 👍🏻👊🏻
You can also use Acetone to clean up Silicone Carne whether your scraping old stuff off or knocking your bead down a cleaning up the excess.
Uma verdadeira aula muito bom mesmo, parabéns por dividir seus conhecimentos esse e o VERDADEIRO PROFISSIONAL NÃO TÊM RECEIO DE ENSINAR OU PASSAR CONHECIMENTO PARABÉNS FICA COM DEUS E MUITA SAÚDE
Got to pipe in on how well these videos are designed. Simple clear instructions. Excellent solutions to common problems.
Best instructional I've ever seen on caulking! Thanks
As a residential painter we always cut the tip at an angle like that, and we kept a bucket of soapy water to soak the rags in we use to wipe our fingers on. It served to both do what you demonstrated and easily wipe the caulk off our fingers. It also dissolved the caulk on the rags into the water which made them endlessly reusable.
Professional painter as well. Commercial and residential. I almost lost it when he busted out the tape. I’ve fired people for using tape.
I always cut the tip flat, that work better work on limited space , and never need to looks the tip facing wrong side or not, flat or angle still got same result, its about how you put your the angle and speed, sometimes when you doing these so long, both moth make it work,sometimes got the feel adjust speed and squeeze pressure make it work, when i was younger doing these kind of job seal windows and fire wall,around 10 boxes a day, like 120 pcs everyday,start from 69 floor dwon to floor, one time i got prank, they said no lift/elevator today ,need carry few boxes walk up to 69 floor, at one points my right arm way bigger than left arm,then i change to left hand try to balance out,that make me double gunner...? i hate that job, but no complaint, i think when younger way easier pickup or learning skill, i guess kids finish school first at least, i mean too many way, you always finger it out which one work for you ,when i saw this video all the memories back ,haha...sorry for my poor english.
@@youngrobe9049 Fired people for using tape? You probably can't hang onto employees cause you seem like you'd be a real dick to work for.
Im 60 yrs old and this kind of stuff goes to show you can still learn something new everyday! I been in construction and remodeling off and on for the last 40 years and never thought of this trick with a caulking gun.Thank you very much.
I don't have any projects coming up that will require caulking, but I just had to watch because I always learn something new from The Maker's videos!
Been a maintenance man for about 17 years now and never knew about that soap and water trick for silicone. I'll definitely be adding that to my tool bag 👍
@F JB no I've always been pretty clean with silicone and just used a caulk tool and a rag. So to me I never needed another technique just thought this was a good one. You can step down off your pedestal now. Also saying on the back that you can wash up with soap and water does not show that technique 🤷.
@F JB just in case my caulking tool breaks 🤣🤣🤣🤡. Common Sense tools break so if I have to use my finger I would like to spray some soapy water on it now with yeah common sense 🤣🤣
@F JB no silicone doesn't wash off with water and they don't show you that technique on here. Funny there's a bunch of other people who are in the construction business who are saying that this was three good techniques that they showed us. But yes you are right amongst the thousands of comments saying this was a good idea 🤣🤣🤣. If the silicone is already on your skin it's also extremely difficult to get off even with soap and water. I'm obviously talking to a person who works at Wendy's
You're my hero! I just finished caulking our bathroom and made almost all of those mistakes. I wish I saw this earlier!

What a big help (and ideas)! Thanks for sharing! I always suffer when I use silicone. But I'll try all tricks! 😁
Best video on 'How to apply Silicone Sealant' by far!
The masking tape method is reasonable but leaves a very small step at the edge of the bead. The soap and water method is my preferred method.
The dressing of the nozzle, into the corner using the wet and dry is something I've not seen before and is such a simple and effective idea. Really impressed with this video. Give yourself a pat on the back.
I Have never Caulked before ., i wish I knew WTH he’s doing
😂
Looks helpful
Tho
Took me 20yrs to learn that soap water method. Cant wait to try it out
40 years around construction, and never saw the soap and water! Off to caulk!
@@fakename1656 it's great,it runs behind parts of the silicone preventing it from sealing properly.
Sanding the applicator tip was a new one for me. Will try it.
Hi…I just stumbled upon this video and I want to thank you so much for this - it’s very informative plus no useless noisy dialogue. Great!! As a female I can use these types of videos. 👍🏽👍🏽
Believe me, doesn't matter what gender you are; two of those methods are new to me and since I do use silicone and caulk often enough, ANY chance of improving how I apply silicone/caulk and keep my work clean is a bonus!
Brilliant tips! I have always used the angle tip method, but spraying the soap and water before smoothing was amazing. Thank You!
Mit Spucke geht es auch.

I've caulked for many years, but learned new and better ways today! Well done!!!
I knew the soapy water trick, I’ve used the tape too, but sanding the tip was new to me 👍👍👍

Easily, the best presentation I've watched on RUclips. Thank you.
What a great video. Easy to understand visually and straight to the point.
Excellent; living and learning! Thanks.
I like the sand paper trick to shape the dispenser on the tube. Until now, I thought I was the only one who knew you could do this. I had discovered this trick on my own years ago while I was working for a painting company. I was one of only 2 employees that the boss trusted to caulk. The wet surface/finger trick is great too; I usually use a rag for this. The tape trick I'm gonna have to try. 👍
ruclips.net/channel/UC8UNCY5faQoPCiPP1s3o70Q
I had problems with the wet surface silicone wont adhere to the edges.
heck ya tiny things like that blowing my mind
Cool story bro.
I use a similar trick for fitting plastic and aluminum pipes. You can use sandpaper to get a prefect curve
LIFE CHANGING! Thanks for the training
Quick and to the point. Can’t get any better than that. I don’t mind the lack of talking either.
Love it ! Going to try ! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video. I use tape but always follow up with a soapy finger to smooth down the edges.
Magnifique explication? D'une clarté que Mr. Tout-le-monde aura vite comprise sans un mot. Bravo et merci Monsieur.
That was indeed one of the best under three minute clips. Nicely done ol boy, nicely done👌👌👌
no chit chat and straight to action. i will be trying these techniques. thank you
Actually one of the best videos ever concerning this silicon issue.
Lol not even kidding. Caulking my bathroom today and here is the perfect video! Thanks!!!!!
You are absolutely brilliant! All of your instructions & videos are priceless, especially for all of the welding types! Thank you so much!!!
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing this!!
Да. Спасибо. Не знал, хотя пользуюсь часто. С меня лайк и подписка. Ждем новых идей
It's cool.
I wondered about nozzle trim, great info and the soap secret.....pure gold
A perfect illustration that it's just as important to learn what not to do, and why, as it is to learn the proper methods, and why...
Can you please demonstrate how to manage caulking around a corner and also in a corner and up the wall where caulk lines cross/meet up, around tub faucets and spouts and other awkward areas. For those of us who are beginners, these areas are especially problematic partly because of our lack of speed, as the caulk is starting to skim over before we get a chance to smooth it out.
Fantastic video!
The real Professionals cut the nozzle a bit fatter and push the silicon instead of dragging the nozzle, and use the nozzle as the smoothing tool as they go along, without having to go back along the bead.
Its hard to imagine, but you have to keep a ball of an even size in the end of the nozzle
I dig the abrasive paper hack. Never seen that before. Thanks a bunch for a great no nonsense video.
Just perfect, very specific, to the point, no waste of time very best demonstration... Thanks.
Niesamowite... dobrze że są takie filmiki na RUclips bo jak ludzkość robiłaby silikon.
Ooooo Tak! To zmieniło moje życie tyle lat żyłem w błędzie , nie wiem jak ktoś wpadł na ten sposób chyba musi być jakimś mędrcem 😂Jprdl 😂
Parodia no żesz kurna parodia 😂😂😂
Parabéns perfeito!
Your tips helped me so much in my new apartment ☺️ thank you 🙏
Probably the best video on caulking on RUclips 👏
Excelente técnica.
These are some good tips but from somebody that uses a lot of caulking while installing Stainglass doors and windows I would have to honestly say that these are very case specific uses. For example if you’re running a bead around a window frame that’s in a brick house or if you have very long runs to make using tape or the hair soap water specifically the soap water on porous surfaces might not be the best tip to use. But on smaller applications on nonporous surfaces yeah good stuff
I just re did my bathroom using your tips. I love you ✌🏾❤️🇬🇧
And like everyone else is saying, this is a really excellent way to instruct people! Perfect video style. Thank you!
I totally agree!
Estou escandalizada com a técnica 😲🙌 muito bom!
sim
Eu tambem...nao somente escandalizado como tambem aloprado e boquiaberto! E outros demais adjetivos...
Как человек,который изготавливал аквариумы,подтвержаю действенность данных способов.Супер.
You understand my adhd brain. It's fast, easy to understand, and nothing I need to fast forward through. I love you.
Thank you, that was fantastic. I've done the tape thing with some success. But, I'm very excited to use the sand paper to properly shape the tip! The audio was a nice change-up as well, kinda gave it a 2001 Stanley Kubrick ambience.
Just what I needed to know.
Nossa e eu usava totalmente errado agora aprendi corretamente obrigado 🙂✌️👍
Wow!! Thank you!! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
Great video straight to the point,wish all RUclips videos were like it
Wooow genial! Gracias! 😃
Obrigada.

These are the best silicone tips I've seen - awesome job
My home is held together by silicone. I love the stuff but I did not know of these tips. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed instantly.
Estupenda interpretación y muy alegre la forma de exponerlo! Gracias!
Su dedo nos dice todo!
To avoid any deviation from "ideal" result I use 45 degree cut dispenser tip + 2 masking tapes + small plastic spoon for the first run (this forms really nice and solid silicon incurvation) + very slight run of soapy finger to finish. The end result might be reviewed by microscope :) Of course this is not for fast and effective daily routines, it's purely DIY for perfectionists :)
Thanks, going to use that spoon trick!
Ah oui très bonne astuce, merci😊
Brilliant! Thank you so much. It means a lot to us who are handy man at home! Thanks. Never came across anything like this. Thanks once again.
Okay, I learned two new tricks here, THANK YOU!
Excelente gran trabajo
The one with the tape is what I always used. But the trick with the soapy water was great. Thanks for t he tips.
But be careful, the silicone does not stick to a wet surface. So it is not so good solution. I use the tape version, I draw the material to a minimum thickness at the tape edge. Then comes the soapy water and the last smoothing after removing the tape.
I believe the tape method gives the best seal and adhesion. Getting silicone wet messes it up.
So helpful and straight to the point. A+.
Great video, actually shows what it promises and doesn't drag it out to make extra money. Subscribed!
Important there are no gaps in the bead before spraying soapy water. Silicone won’t bond if water is behind it. I roughly smooth it first then apply the spray before the the final smooth.
Très bonne astuces merci
Also regular water after ya fit is ok to just damp your finger really never need much at all just your finger to be "moist" hehe

I always use the last method 👍
Excellent, you showed me something I didn't know 👍🏼
OmgI wish I’d found this yesterday! Thanks all the same I’ll be using his tips from now on
It's kinda cool to see someone else who goes to the same lengths as I do, and I never tried soapy water, but it makes perfect sense. Thank you and keep on putting out excellent ideas

Everything in this video shows a bad way of doing this. Cutting the nozzle at 45 degrees means it will apply less force in pushing it inside the edge; soapy water looks nice but means the edge of the silicon won't adhere properly; masking tape will leave a slightly raised edge that, ultimately, will let water sit on it and cause mould. Look up Charles DIYte who shows all of this very well.
Yes, it's definitely cool when anyone goes into details and invests the care to achieve excellence! I will never forget the quote I saw on a university professor's office door: The world is run by C students. It really helps to keep this continuously in mind.
@@lor3nzo666 Agree 100%. Soapy water is a no no if you want the silicone to adhere properly. Good video apart from that.
Świetna robota😀

Hey Maker. Very cool. I am pretty good at laying caulk, but your way puts me to shame. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

Oh wow!! Thank you for your great tips. So appreciated.
Excellent tips! Thank you!
Don't spray soapy water directly on the joint. Instead put it _only_ on your finger.
The reason is that any places where the caulk was not touch, when being spread over with the finger, the caulk will not stick to the surface. This is particularly an issue in those cases where there was the occasional gap in the caulk when laying it. You'd think that is no big deal cause you can fill the gap when you run your finger over it, but if you've filled that gap with soapy water, then the caulk will not stick to the surface inside that gap. Even if it looks good, that lack of adhesion is not considered waterproof and can not be trusted to provide any holding power.
Best to try to lay a good bead that does not require using your finger at all, but if you have to use your finger, wet _only_ your finger with soapy water to prevent the caulk from sticking to it, and use shorter strokes when wiping.
Interestingly, there are plenty of other professionals' tips that say "never use wet" but to use a dry finger but wipe on cloth regularly. The reason for not using wet is that silicone hates water.
Agree, well explained.
I love the way he shows "NO" with his finger... 😂
The soap water trick is briliant! Thanks for the tip ;)
