Just followed your accessible guidelines and caulked my newly replaced drop-in sink which had rusted out and was leaking. Don't know that I would be happier with a new and trendy vanity replacement. Have a sense of accomplishment doing this myself. Thank you.

I have been a professional caulker for over 45 years. You have to remove ALL of the existing sealant. You can’t leave the sealant in the gap like you did. But most importantly NEVER use acrylic .( Dap) in wet areas despite what they claim. It is very low quality sealant. Use 100% silicone. (GE or DOW) Professional caulkers never use Dap for anything but paint prep.

Why can't you leave sealant in the gap??
@genecarden7803 ай бұрын
The sealant was obviously failing, it’s just not a good idea to install new sealant to already failing sealant. In this example The existing sealant was silicone. He replaced it with acrylic latex. Acrylic latex will not bond to silicone.All of the existing sealant has to be removed.It is never a good idea to not remove all of the sealant.

3:00 When I'm using a long tube like that, and I'm not near the end of the tube, when I'm finished with a job I'll stick a large 4d nail into the opening then put the tube back into storage. The caulk inside near the tip will still set, but having that nail in there means that the next time I need to caulk, I can pull the nail out and instantly have a central channel available where caulk farther back can get out. And the nail can go back in there for another few rounds.

Should only use 100% Silicone Caulk. Remove the sink and clean up all the old caulk. It will fail again. The stuff he used is a mix of Latex and silicone it will fail due to loss of adhesion over time.

I can’t thank you enough! I have the same tight gap behind the faucet. The caulk at the wall side was moldy. I wasn’t going to ask a handyman to come in, because of pandemic I tried, but wish I had seen this first. Now I know that using some of the caulk makes the tube more flexible for tight spaces. Your video also showed me that I pushed the caulk too hard. How did you get your finger in there to smooth it? Also, why smooth it at an angle?

Good tips. However you should always wear latex gloves & a mask when working around mold. Some protective layer is better than none. Never rub your eyes, nose, ears or mouth either. After we thoroughly clean up the job site with a cleaner, as mold & it’s spores can be harmful to elderly, sick persons, children, etc. it’s always a good practice to minimize mold exposure. It can get you very ill, to the point of nasal, lung, throat, brain issues. Mold is also hard to treat clinically- so minimizing our exposure is critical. Cheers.

0:52 I managed to catch the laminate surface with my blade but fortunately that spot was tiny and under the lip of the sink, near the edge of the countertop cutout. Be careful on the angle and pressure used. I wasn't using the little tool shown in the video, I had a long (6-inch) handle tool probably from my painting box that takes a standard blade, probably too steep an angle at one point. I also managed to break a piece off the blade later on, a slim strip at the cutting edge (pushing too hard onto the counter bent the blade too far). Very fortunate it was the blade and not the sink! Just gotcha's from another amateur.

You made it look easy. Tried the exact same project with the same Dap product in white, and made a mess of it no matter how hard I tried. I ended up with a large 1/2" "boarder" smeared unevenly all the way around. I went over it several times with my finger, but I just couldn't get it right. So I went at it with a rag, frantically scrubbed to get the excess off before it set, but it just looked ugly in stark contrast with the black countertop. So I "whittled" my border down by ever-so-carefully edging along it with a wet rag, and it took hours before it looked even enough. I got it down to a 1/4" border, but I think that’s too wide. It just looks like a cheap motel job, and I'm not happy with it, but I just settled because I was too tired. . Next day I tried again on the other sink, and this time I tried to apply the caulking more sparingly. I even spent time painstakingly masking it to a nice 1/8" boarder with painter's tape, which was a tip I read elsewhere. Went over it with my finger, then immediately tried to pull the tape off at a 45 degree angle, but it didn’t work out. The caulk was completely ragged and uneven, and parts of it were "floating" off the counter. So after all that, I ended up having to run my finger around it again. But then ran into the exact same problem I had on the previous sink! After more hours trying to "edge" it carefully, the end result was even worse than the previous day's effort. I don't understand what went wrong. I must be missing something, or maybe my counter top shows up every detail because it’s black. I’m not sure, but I’m tempted to try scraping the border area off completely with a plastic scraper. It dries to a chalky matte consistency, and just looks like liquid paper against the black.
