I don't have any critters that I will be taking with me, but if I did, I'd sure get Waggle! What a great invention. It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it works! For future, wetting your finger to smooth out the caulk makes the end results look nicer, but it is certainly not necessary. You gave a very good lesson. All my shirts came in, I love them all! Only one ran small so I will use it for decoration in my future home on wheels. Thank you so much for your videos, you help make dreams come true for those of us who have been too afraid to go it alone.
If you want to save what is left in the caulking tube, Stumpy Nubs just had a video about this today. Use the finger from a nitrile glove and put over the tip and squeeze some of the caulk in. The caulk will cure in the finger tip and protect the contents of the tube.
One of the many things I like about your channel is that you break jobs down to the simplest steps and explain the whys and wherefores of each step. That can be applied to any job and encourages people to try things. You also don't fuss about perfection; making it clear that when it's important to be perfect, it's worth the effort but that cosmetics are not the be all and end all. I hope that makes sense. IE get the caulk in deeply but it doesn't have to look like an episode of hgtv that looks pretty even if it won't last. Happy Travels. I hope your Mom is doing ok.
Thanks for the DIY info.Will file away in my "good to know" info bank. You never know when these tips will come in handy! Glad you made it to your mom's ok. Hoping you have a good and refreshing time while you're there.
That window was never sealed fright from the start. What you scraped off is crusty butyl tape that oozed out and dried. When windows are installed butyl tape is applied under the seal of the window frame and body and silicone over the top of that, to keep it from drying out.
I had to come back and watch this video again because it was my turn to have to redo my windows. Nothing was leaking however it had been years since they had been done and I decided to be proactive and just do it. Thank you for being a pioneer and blazing the trail for me
Boy! You are make me feel I can do things also… Just love you, you are your own person, I’m handy in some things, but taking a chance I don’t do to good, but as getting older I do take it. Stay safe
Woohoo good job! After my maiden voyage, in my new to me rig,I know that I need panels on top to charge my house battery while driving. So just just ordered my 200 watt solar kit along with butyl tape and self leveling sealant. I'll be installing it myself so wish me luck😊
Thanks for the video. I was just thinking about needing to caulk some of my RV windows. Great timing, and as always, great video. You're always an inspiration to me.
So happy I found your channel!! New subscriber here 🎉🎉🎉. I’m learning so much from this, thank you! I wanted to share something i recently learned about the chalking gun, not only is there that pin to poke but on the handle area is a cuter too!❤. It may take me some practice to use it and get an angle 😂 but it’s pretty cool.
Butyl under the window flange experiences very little exposure to the elements. The butyl on the outside Collects dirt and is effected by the elements. Hard plastic putty knifes, sharpened with a metal file, every time its needed, avoids nicking any surface while removing the bulk of Dicor or butyl that has pushed out from under the window flange. Mineral Spirits does a fine job of removing both butyl and dicor sealant. Taping off the body of the rv, about a 1/4 inch from flange and pulling tape before new sealant skins works well for us.
This was such a timely, helpful video for us, Carolyn. Thank you for the tutorial on caulking guns and trimming the end of the Dicor tube. I also have had the tendency to cut too far back. Now we’ll have to get busy to get some maintenance done on our Class C that wefull time in.
Carolyn...,I've been wanting to caulk the corner seam in my bathroom to keep out silverfish but haven't done it yet because I too, am a procrastinator, and did not know how to set up and use the caulking gun, but now I I do. Thank you for showing me! Now I have no reason to not get it done!
Hi Carolyn I seen your video about the rv hesitation. What did you replace to fix the issue. Have you driven uphill and driven far enough that it doesn’t happen anymore?
Thank you for this update! Glad it worked well for you! shivering black bell and thumbs up. " Why do I have to get off the couch Mom? I just want to nap!!"
Miss Carol I so much enjoy your how to do videos I live in a fifth wheel still looking for my RV motorhome but your videos help me out to fix things that need to be fixed I appreciate your videos so much thank you and God bless you and keep you you both safe.
Thanks again! I have to caulk around some large windows and your tips will help. It was so fun to see you run up that ladder, iudedto but now I take it slow and sure😊
Looks like the front of the RV has rift rod and the water is running down. I've got the same thing in my RV and you've got a lot of rebuilding to do. It just gets worse over time
She could have used any color available but she said she didn't care how it looks. Ive only seen silicon that was clear and not sure that's what she needed for this application
My mate was mean of course male species.... He did mention the guns have a cutter but he doesn't understand the angle part of getting the stuff out just right ...
Hi Carolyn, I have a question that has nothing to do with this video but when I saw Sadie I thought of my question is Sadie different from Capone? Meaning which in your opinion boy/girl disposition.

This was such a great video and super helpful. Resealing can seem so daunting, but I'm ready to take on the task now. Thank you!
You are so welcome!

It’d be worth checking the seal around your storage bays also.
As a newbie in a class c , all the information I can get is so helpful! Thank you for the great videos on maintaining the rig ! Your awesome!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this helpful video. I’ve got Waggle and definitely am more comfortable when away from rv.
Wee gots the Waggle...we gots the Waggle...Amiee & Boom Boom Kiddee Thanks You ❤ and Sadie 2😊
Thanks for the video. I was just thinking about needing to caulk some of my RV windows.
Great timing, and as always, great video. You're always an inspiration to me.
These are the kind of useful videos I appreciate- thank you for showing us this. So glad your project was a success. I never doubted it would be!
Thanks for explaining the velcro!
There's also clear sealant.
Good job! I’ve used a piece of saran wrap on my used calk and always keeps it fresh. Thanks for posting your tips!
Very helpful! Gonna save this one for when I need it. Thanks Carolyn.
I’ve got to do some maintenance soon too. It’s always something 😊 Thanks for another informative video. Hugs to you and Sadie.
Just found your channel. I bought a rv similar to yours . I’m learning as I go . So thank you for posting videos. God bless !
Welcome!
Good on you. I so easily ignore maintenance. Dicor is our friend.
You might know this, but there is a hole on the caulking gun to insert the tube tip so you can cut it off.
This was exactly the video I needed to watch today! Thank you for linking the roof sealant video too!
Extremely helpful information.
Thank you
Love the tutorial format!
Thanks for the information , you did a great job.
Hi!! A lot of caulking guns have a skewer hinged near the end of the barrel. Just looks like a piece of hanger with a brad through it
So happy I found your channel!! New subscriber here 🎉🎉🎉. I’m learning so much from this, thank you! I wanted to share something i recently learned about the chalking gun, not only is there that pin to poke but on the handle area is a cuter too!❤.

Thank you lady! Much appreciated.
Thanks carolyn!

I had one of these. But it was taken. I sure miss it
Very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it worked.

If you have a little cup of water, dip your finger in it, it makes smoothing it out a little easier.
I never knew how to load the chalking gun! Now I do. We’ll done
Carolyn...,I've been wanting to caulk the corner seam in my bathroom to keep out silverfish but haven't done it yet because I too, am a procrastinator, and did not know how to set up and use the caulking gun, but now I I do. Thank you for showing me! Now I have no reason to not get it done!

GOOD job
Thank you for showing me this, I think I can do it myself. You did an excellent job
Thank you Carolyn,I always learn something from watching ur videos.😊
You don't need the coat hanger see the silver wire on the gun
Miss Carol I so much enjoy your how to do videos I live in a fifth wheel still looking for my RV motorhome but your videos help me out to fix things that need to be fixed I appreciate your videos so much thank you and God bless you and keep you you both safe.
You are so welcome!
Why not some clear flex seal?
Thanks again! I have to caulk around some large windows and your tips will help. It was so fun to see you run up that ladder, iudedto but now I take it slow and sure😊
You always smooth out the calking that’s what sets it in the creaks.

I’m sitting here watching your video and I’m procrastinating because I have to do a couple of my windows also and I’m dreading it. lol
Looks like the front of the RV has rift rod and the water is running down. I've got the same thing in my RV and you've got a lot of rebuilding to do. It just gets worse over time
Cool deal!...nuthin like waking up to a wet bed or cushion. Great Job!
I wonder if you could have used clear so wouldn't have look so messy with the white...
She could have used any color available but she said she didn't care how it looks. Ive only seen silicon that was clear and not sure that's what she needed for this application
YOU GO GIRL!!! ☮💜
Awesome 👍 Have a great day 😊❤
Thank you for showing us !
My mate was mean of course male species.... He did mention the guns have a cutter but he doesn't understand the angle part of getting the stuff out just right ...

Holy crap😂
Waggle, somehow got my phone number and called me.... How?
It's of no use to me because there is no cell signal where I live
