Kitchen and Bath Caulking Tips
The humid, wet conditions created in kitchens
and bathrooms can often lead to sealant failure. Areas which
allow moisture to enter are considered problem areas and
should be resealed immediately. It is important to caulk
around plumbing, tubs, walls, sinks, faucets, and toilets.
Also, woodwork around exterior windows and doors should
be sealed with caulk to ensure quality energy efficiency.
When working with caulk, it is suggested
to mask the area with tape to help guide you in a smooth
line. You can also use a small plastic tool called a caulk
smoother to get the job done easier. For small areas, be
sure to use caulk in squeeze tubes as opposed to cartridges.
To avoid a messy caulk job, be sure to use a consistent
amount of pressure in a continuous motion.
