Whether you have grout or caulk as a filler between your tiles in the bathroom, it will show signs of wear
over time. If you notice any crumbling, peeling, or mildew, it’s probably time for a touch-up. tip walks you through re-caulking in your home.
1.) When you open a tube of caulk, the tapered tip on each tube allows you to custom-size the opening for your specific job
2.) Consistency is key. Work from each edge to the middle, or start by caulking the last 6 inches first. Do your best to keep pressure, speed and angle consistent.
3.) Most of the time, the only additional caulking tools required are a fingertip, some water to dip it in and some paper towels. Smoothing the bead with light, steady pressure from your fingertip (or an ice cube or the back of a metal spoon for exterior caulk) does two things—it forces the caulk firmly against both surfaces and creates a clean, tidy appearance.
