I know old school when I see it,well done, just starting my carrier on caulking and your video show me some tricks that will help me to impress my coworkers.
You wouldn’t be impressing Anyone in the real world of caulking with Anything that any of these sales reps is demonstrating. They need to just stick to selling the guns and accessories and stay far away from actual caulking Yikes
It does stick, but it is the angle and movement of the tooling that prevents excessive material from sticking to the tool and thus remaining in the joint where it belongs.
anyone have any tips on controlling the caulk when starting a new bead on an existing one like he does here .. a lot of the time i put down to much at first .. i guess its just a skill / control thing ?
@@chyeaOGKush well honestly thats kinda hard, even if i get a nice even bead, instead of just flat tooling i always even if it doesnt need it backtool it, then if it allows use a scraper blade to get the excess off the edge of the bead. If u cant use the scraper blade like on brick ur gonna have to tape the sides
You really have to work with an actual caulker and hope that maybe he teaches you. You cannot learn caulking by watching videos and especially not these disasters
Just caulked your weep holes shut!.. Looks like an old curtain wall though. Could be a non weeping system. Well if it wasn't it is now!.. Nice caulk joint though.
The weep tubes were purposely covered. All the gaskets in the window system were cut back to install a silicone bead creating “rain screen” system known as “wet sealing.”
Caulking proper is extremely difficult to learn especially with all the confusion and complete lack of standards in the USA now Anyone who says it’s easy most likely is clueless to the reality of how fussy and critical caulkers and some inspectors are and probably actually really sucks at caulking but thinks they’re great like this guy in the videos His caulking is absolutely Brutal and completely unacceptable according to any real caulking company that I ever worked on
Caulking correctly and with knives is the most difficult of all the specialty skills and takes way longer to learn than anything masonry and many other things. If you stuck your finger in the caulk on any job I’ve ever been on any got caught You are Fired Wet tooling and with dish soap also Unreal You’re Fired No Standards USA just piss on them while you’re at it
@@precastengineerTaping is a Sure sign that you aint no caulker!! Nobody in the real world of caulking ever taped anything I ever saw in over 30 years and this Wanker from Albion is No Professional Anything His caulking is Awful on multiple levels
You are very poetic, but it is true, in many cases silicone is a much better choice. The reason for this is that silicon is inorganic. Being such, the covalent bonds of silicone are stronger than UV, thus giving it a longer service life with warranties up to 20 years. On the other hand, polyurethane is organic, and susceptible to aging weathering, and of course, ultraviolet from the sun. This is why polyurethane in some parts of the country can fail in less than five years. So, consideration should be given as to whether a silicone can be used in place of a polyurethane.
You just snip the end of the sausage with small wire cutter pliers!! That smacking the sausage over and over the top of your boots? Really? I have never seen that one before That caulking could Easily fly out that wide open sausage and make a huge mess that you can never clean up and that weird bent angle nozzle isn’t for basic simple straight runs it’s literally for areas that are difficult to get into.
@@mrvaj2021you’re all so clueless ( no offense) I once got to the level of over 1000 feet a day on parking garage and shit like that and I was not a fast caulker amongst that crew
What you saw in the video is an illustration of how to tool effectively and quickly. After several years after being installed, the sealant continues to adhere and seal properly.

Great quick video showing the basics. 👍🏻
it cleaned up a lot better than i thought it would. but why such a big bead with such a small joint??
Nice video, thanks for making it was very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you rent this tool ?????
Why doesn't the caulk stick to your tooling tool?
It does stick, but it is the angle and movement of the tooling that prevents excessive material from sticking to the tool and thus remaining in the joint where it belongs.
I will say your videos are very informative
He can’t run the gun load the gun or tool the joints by real caulkers standards
Say what
Did you just say I’m too important. Thanks.
Hello I'm from Florida am been doing caulking from 18 year we're is your location my Men

@@hansel2ss261 yes for sure , trying to work on getting it perfect first go though

@@toecutter1015 haha yeah man - I found a local company that does high end residential and there work is mint - much cleaner than this.

Ha ha caulking the weeps shut I’ve seen even the best caulkers do it
I believe Caulking is extremely difficult, I have to do some tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it.
It’s easy once you get a hang of it make sure you prep it right

I have these same tools and it it's not as easy to use as it seems, it definitely takes some time to master it. I'm better off with my finger
Don’t give up! With practice you will learn just how much to shoot and how to perfectly tool straight lines. You can do it!

If the material is as runny as the first one you can loud the gun without taking the tip off just suck it up with the cone on it like a water gun
Why not tape it ?
Taping is for highly visible and aesthetic areas were tooling is not sufficient.
He is an expert, he doesn’t waste time & effort taping it, he can create a neat finish, I must use tape and still cannot achieve a neat finish.

Those wavy lines would've been on the punch list and you would've ended up wasting more time and money cutting it out just to reapply a skim coat.
I said the same thing. Not a straight line and what's with electric guns... Slow as hell.
Completely shitty caulking on multiple levels
Nice explanation - except for the music: that made it hard to hear you and was annoying.
I am listening!
Kick ass. Polyurethane out. Silicone in.

It’s all flim flam American No Standards little caulk and paint will make it what it aint Flim Flamming the flim flam
Hey Wayne Belcher!
Do you know me?
Absolute professional. Hard to find this quality in Mexican or youngsters!
This guy is awful and his work would be completely unacceptable on any serious job He Stinks

That does not look even close to being taped and tooled.
Ok I’m gonna be honest. This is ok caulking. Slow but decent, maybe average. Just being honest buddy.
Fast is not the way to go when caulking anyways
@@mrvaj2021 you’ve lost your mind, It’s extremely important. You run 100 for a day you’ll never make money.

It’s not okay according to anyone I ever caulked for
I’d get fired for tooling like that
