There are several distributors, or suppliers of the specialty materials here in Seattle. The easiest way for you to find a distributor near you would be to go online and visit the website of a sealant manufacture. There, they list those who distribute their materials nationwide. I hope this helps.
Depending on your location, look for a commercial caulking and sealant distributor. They will also sell caulking tools. Or, you could go to the web site of www.albioneng.com to order tools. To learn more about the craft of sealant installations you could buy my book, Sealants in Construction.
I use a collection of Marshalltown tuck pointers in various widths. I then grind and taper the ends to properly tool the sealant. A good example of a proper tapered end of a tool for sealants would be the Cat Tools by Albion
Caulking is a skill. An art when done properly. Only a few of us have mastered the technique of applying sealants in all forms of construction. From sidewalks to tilt-up, to curtail wall, and structurally glazed systems. I have taken my skills to a higher level in that I teach all applications to the next generation, working with bulk sealants of all kinds, organic and inorganic in all applications.
@@unitedprofessionalcaulking9038You most definitely haven’t mastered it Sir. I would absolutely get fired from a few different caulking companies for taking as long as you and then Not even close to the standards caulking finish
Just use tape let go of the ego where people say a real caulker doesn’t need tape. Im way better at free handing than this guy and i still use tape why? Because I believe in giving the customer a perfect product.
I agree. There are many applications of sealant where tape is required. Such as storefronts and entrances. Many times when wet-sealing around windows (after cutting back the failing gaskets) tape creates a straight line as seen from the inside. The purpose of the video was to show the level of skill that is attainable with practice.
Taping is for those who really shouldn’t be caulking Worked decades on and off for big legit caulking companies. If you ever got caught wet tooling finger tooling or taping you would be Fired

Using flexy tuck pointing slickers instead of a simple small knife This guy cannot run the gun run a bead or tool to save his life Quality of video isn’t great but I know those caulk joints look like shit He stroked them so many times and in the same direction.

Where do you guys get that backer rod installer tool from?

Where can you buy the tools, gun, and caulk? Where can you get trained to professionally caulk? Great job.

@joshyjosh8042 i bet i can caulk way way better than you lol
Wavy as hell and not good. Corners are bad the bottom bead is wavy not straight.
Good thing he had his hard hat on.
I recommend to do caulking before the fine sand finish
Mexican
you should be taping the brick
He is a MF Pro! Not a little bitch like you!
I tape everything its the way to insure quality 100% of the time
No one who’s a real caulker ever taped anything, believe me I know
Just use tape let go of the ego where people say a real caulker doesn’t need tape. Im way better at free handing than this guy and i still use tape why? Because I believe in giving the customer a perfect product.
