• Drill-mounted brush or stiff bristled brush (grunt grunt “More power!”) for cleaning out the crack

• Putty knife or foam brushes for tooling (or your trusty finger)
• Damp rags for clean-up

If you want your caulking job to stick and stretch for years to come make sure you clean out old caulk dirt sidewalk chalk dandelions ant colonies and other contaminants.

Insert Filler Rope™
Any crack that’s deeper than 1/2” and wider than 1/4” needs Sashco’s Filler Rope™ or some other type of backer rod so the caulking will properly stretch and so you use less caulking.

Apply the caulk
Be smooth about it now. A steady hand will save you clean-up later. Make sure the bead is at least 1/4” thick but no more than 1/2” thick to allow it to stretch correctly (too thin and it’ll tear too thick and it’ll be too rigid).

Tool (smooth) the caulk
Use a damp foam brush a putty knife or your trusty finger to create a good-lookin’ bead and ensure the caulk is sticking to the sides of the joint properly.
