how d i caulk around the sink it seems that im mentally challenged at caulking. i do all of the house repairs with ease just not this. its a circular sink and the old stuff failed after 10 years. i bought GE 3 hour silicone shower caulking to do it with the caulking gun. when i start applying it it looks good and every thing then i go to wipe it then it spreads onto the counter top and sides of the sink. then when im trying to clean it up with a rag it picks the caulking up fine but then takes out allot of the stuff i just put around the sink and looks un even. then by the time i clean one part it has started to dry then i go wipe the other part and it goes into balls. honestly i dont know how to do it. any help would be great.
Yeah, I am with you, poster. Caulking and mudding walls just seems beyond me. I have had some success by wetting my finger and running it along the seam after caulking, taking plenty of breaks to wipe of the excess and re-wet the finger. Good luck.
When I was remodelling and putting in the bathroom sinks (3) I got a tip from my brother in law, mr fix it all. Dip your finger in rubbing alcohol, the kind for your skin to clean your lines of caulking up with. You can dip a rag in it or a paper towel and clean up the edges or where you smeared it. That will work. It cleans up, just fine that way. Try it. Good luck!
