ACGI Blog: The Basics of Caulking

How To Caulk Windows, Doors, & Trim.

Great caulk lines can be difficult to achieve however with a little bit of help & guidance from Andruszko Painting you will be able to see the perfection of your work in no time.

However, if that were the case we would not have to seal the caulk line with our index finger nor would we ever have to look at a zig zagging line of caulking. Andruszko Painting says you need to have precision and keep your eye on the bead as you start your caulk line keep constant pressure on your trigger and follow through on your caulk line; try not to stop (if possible) 1/2 way or 3/4's of the way down your A-Z Caulk Line. Keep one wet rag handy and one dry rag handy. If your caulking gun gets caught on a larger piece of texture, nail, or what ever gently release the trigger and recoup your caulking composure. Always remember to slide your finger over the caulk line in the same direction, vertically or horizontally, do not use your finger in opposite directions on the same caulk line otherwise you will have an imperfect run/uneven flow of caulking.
