That white lightning is what makes you a professional sir. All the haters on here probably ruining somebody's great work with Dap!😂 Good job

[@truthseekerKJV]

You should always use painters tape to cover where you don't want the caulking to go. It provides a clean line and looks really good when you're done.

[@jesussleftleg7715]

Yes if your an amateur

[@truthseekerKJV]

@@jesussleftleg7715 if you're smart, and you're calking around a window of a brick house, you'll use plumber's tape. Your experience has nothing to do with it. Everyone screws up every now and then, but if you screw up on brick, you don't simply clean that off and move on.

That looks like my caulk work. Makes me feel better that I'm not alone. Sometimes I flow with the caul, most of the time it looks like that.

[@denisemaccoleman987]

Thanks. this 65 year old can't seem to find anyone to hire for this, so I'm going to do it myself.

[@yophone3109]

Me too

[@MG-jb6vl]

Don't forget the caulk on the nails of the window frame, especially the bottom nails where water can get through.

[@gulfgypsy]

Thank you for your video! I'm in the process of redoing the caulking on my windows -- Just a normal part of caring for a home.
I haven't needed to do this in many years and your video helped give me confidence I can do this.

Same

simple yet so helpful
thank you

[@quake2u]

This is white lightning 3006 cheap caulk. Good caulk but needs to be painted because it will mold and discolor.

[@brianm1897]

Awesome, great video. Thumbs up

[@mancmayhem8165]

Very helpful, thank you 👍

[@timlist4173]

What it there are gaps wider than a bead of caulk?

[@bee2333]

Basement window leaking. Can I caulk?

[@LegacyHandyman]

Sure . Why not.

[@russellball1984]

Don't use caulk,you need silicone for external

[@meyman9]

The link to Amazon shows a clear caulk. Aren't you using white?

[@yimb8437]

A lot of caulks go on white but turn clear once they dry/cure.

[@petercallinicos]

Paint does not stick to silicone.

[@marcohoward3860]

My window company should have watched this video. They smoothed with the finger against the brick. Looks like sh*t. I wanted to remove the caulk and redo it. Not sure how to remove the caulk though.

[@andrewsstation6436]

Out of curiosity, how old are those windows?

[@LegacyHandyman]

House was built in 1996 I think it is original windows.

[@andrewsstation6436]

@@LegacyHandyman Neat. Thank you.

[@sudhirraom]

How did you remove old cauking? Did you use any caulk remover ?

[@andrewsstation6436]

@@sudhirraomHe used a utility knife to remove the old material.

[@tammyowens7776]

supposed to wet the brick and clean it, and get caulk to match the brick.

[@swoop-it4621]

Horrible look. Take the time to tape windows, brick, ect. Then smooth it out. Will look 100 better

[@usa5046]

Waka Waka

[@testiculargforce]

Taping is not allowed just tool it nice and don't use your finger

[@age_of_reason]

Most handyman are hacks.

[@dazzla2010]

please get a professional

[@deanwitt7903]

Put some tape around the windows and do it properly . Yes it’s time consuming but well worth it in the end . This is just shoddy .

[@russellball1984]

Easier way is tape up,silicone,use washing up liquid in a spray bottle and spray then smooth,the silicone stays in the gap but won't smear the frame.

[@Aplexity]

That's a bit more materials, a bit more time, and it can all be avoided with a little good practice and the technique in this video. I wouldn't call more time and money easier

[@tomalex4806]

Couldn’t be more wrong. Use a silicone tool to smooth it so there’s no edges and using tape creates an edge when you tear it off. Using washing up liquid will get behind the silicone and it won’t stick properly. Also bacteria on your finger will be on the bead and will eventually have to be replaced again

[@Serpico198227]

sloppy caulk job

[@cindylaurich2325]

That is the worst caulking I've ever seen in my life he should not be allowed to touch a caulk gun

[@dillanbro7796]

Worst ever? Much doubt

[@zeero62]

And what are your credentials to judge caulking capability? This being my 1st video after giving "caulking windows" a thought for the first time in my life, I would say this is the BEST caulking I've ever seen, so please tell me just what should I be looking for when comparing this to other you tube videos or the actual attempt I'll be making at this activity later this week?

[@Bubbleeyyz]

Appreciate the content

[@jerrykrautenstaben6584]

You haven't seen my caulking job 🙂

[@BrendanoftheDE]

You shouldn’t be using caulk on the external you should be using silicone..

[@Aplexity]

Silicone caulk... Lol.

[@BrendanoftheDE]

@@Aplexity sorry I’ll clarify, HDLM External silicone, caulk is for interiors decorators use it because you can paint over it

[@LebannersHook]

Caulk is for interior and exterior use. Silicone sealant is often referred to as caulk in the USA. And you should be using Polyurethane sealant and not silicone for exterior applications though silicone will work if you aren't experienced enough to handle the harder to work with polyurethane.

[@BrendanoftheDE]

@@LebannersHook I think main issue here is location difference, I work with mastic in UK so as it’s so wet here caulk wouldn’t work on the external frames, I can see why it’d be fine in hotter or dryer countries although caulk does crack a lot quicker and easier than mastic so i just don’t understand why you would use it

[@tmuxor]

@@BrendanoftheDE sounds like a you problem. Everyone here knows what this guy is talking about. He even says "silicone" during the video. Pay attention please.

[@age_of_reason]

That's a crappy caulking job man.

[@vRSPagey]

Dreadful
