@@robertkennedy3230 Absolutley! As a homeowner you have to learn some maintenance or you will spend a lot of money paying someone else to do things that are not difficult to learn. And when that leak comes in the middle of the night or on a weekend you know how to fix it. I have thought about giving tools, ladders, wheelbarrows as wedding gifts. My wife has a niece whose future hubby has asked for a chainsaw. I thought that was a bit much. I told her we should send a toy one to him but my wife says no :(.

The killz spray over silicone for painting is an amazing tip. I think it will probably get mostly overlooked because it was said dry quickly in passing during this video. But people are always wondering how to paint over silicon and it’s way quicker than putting a paintable caulk over it.

I was at the home improvement store ready to purchase what I thought I needed and remembered Jeff's Home RenoVision DYI show. My little voice told me I better check out his tips on this before I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did!!! I've been doing renovation type work for years, but one can always learn more.

Quick. Precise. And to the point. I needed to re-caulk a shower at one of my rentals and wanted to get in and out yet make it look professional. You also answered the question of which caulk to use (Kitchen and Bath mildew resistant) and not to waste my money on 20yr stuff. Great video, Sir.

[@ooohlaa13]

I already commented a question but I just wanted to take the time to say how much I appreciate both your artisan/craftmanship approach and your teaching skills. You are such a find for me, I am old and do all my own work for the most part, as my frequent complaint with handy men is they leave things scratched, unsymmetrical and just ok. Better done than not, but my artists heart grieves for the meticulous approach that you bring. The art of paying attention has been replaced by good enough in many cases. I love how you bridge the two and I thank you for your precise comments and attention to detail and aesthetics.

Nice to watch a video that is well presented by an experienced pro. I’ve been involved in renovating older homes for more years than I care to remember. I chuckle when I think about DIY’ers out there smearing silicone caulking all over themselves and their tubs as they try to learn the “touch.” I’m an oldster and don’t bother watching too many “how to “ vids, but yours are worth viewing as you seem to be as particular and conscientious as I tend to be.

you need to stretch the acrylic like as if it is under normal use before installing the silicone. That way it will not peel away from the tile and collect debris and colorants.

[@garyswitzer6867]

Great advise on the finished bead; I did the same thing you did using one finger to make a clean finish. I found my finger getting real sticky fast and stayed that way for a while afterwards. Then I had an idea and just finished my bathroom caulking wearing those disposable nitrile examination gloves and worked perfectly! No more Sticky Fingers (Sorry Rolling Stones, not about your album) & the gloves always wiped off cleanly. I was so proud of the finished job!

Your entire tile, grout, and silicone DIY series is incredible. I am just finishing grouting the 1 foot x 2 foot porcelain wall time to the wall with the fixtures which I replaced. Your information saved me from making lots of mistakes. I think I just made a few. The process was my first tiling project and I certainly learned a lot and saved a lot. I think I will do the floor tiling next. It is needed also. Is the same 1 foot x 2 foot porcelain tile i used in the tub surround acceptable to use on the floor. I do not think it has a glaze/varnish coat on it. Thanks again so much Jeff. You are quite talented and make it look possible!

Cool. i just finished grouting the shower in the en-suite. after watching your video, i got a far nicer finish to the grout. the last time was pants, that cheap sponge was definitely worth it. thanks for the finishing tips. keep smiling:-)

[@ericksonjustinAK]

Thank you. I have siliconed lots of things before but I haven't removed old silicon too often so I started searching for videos. All of them said when re-applying new silicone to tape it first to do it properly. Unless I'm using white caulk on dark tiles, that sounds ridiculous to me. Just wipe it away with your finger! I can tell Jeff, you are a humble man, but you are the best I've seen for DIY videos, or even for contractors. You are so real and practical and a great teacher. My dad was a foreman and I have roughly 2 years or so experience working on job sites from when I was younger and your type of sense of humor is what you see from the nice guys on a job site. Now I work with doctors and lawyers and they think they are all that and a bag of chips and they truly aren't. A lawyer had a leaky sink drain and called a plumber to fix it. Plumber came over and it took him about 15-20 minutes to fix it and handed the lawyer his invoice. The lawyer said "I don't even charge this much per hour!" The plumber replied "I didn't either when I was a lawyer."

[@Krylovix]

Very informative! Great job to the people who made this video

[@preytec]

I've watched a lot of your videos and I think you're the best teacher out there, but this Silicone is installed wrong. 2 tips 1: use silicone profilers, they work amazingly, one side to push the other to clean. I think you can get them on ebay for under a dollar. but for an extra few dollars you can get the tile silicon profilers. 2: use water to make it mold proof. if you just use your finger you leave tiny holes and mold will grow, even in the best antimold silicon, it just takes longer. If I was doing it for myself I'd only use Tec7, it's far better than anything else on the market

[@dougb8207]

Great camera work! Steady and with close-ups; it's very helpful.

[@tonyefc8423]

Jeff is spot on regarding silicone. The special "20 year guarantee" stuff is crap. Just get a low modulus silicone. It does the same job, and is a damn sight cheaper. When sealing a bath, be it steel or acrylic, i always filled the bath. It replicates the weight of a body lying in it, and when you release the water, once the sealant has dried, you have an excellent seal. I also seal internal corners on tiles, and wall to ceiling joint. ALWAYS.

[@johnathandoerty1021]

@@WeezieV: Because the Caulk should match the Grout, and,/or the color(s) of the Tile(s). Recommend to use "clear" caulk on uneven tile joints --- like what was shown, in this Video, on the accent-tile section (on the center of this wall). Furthermore, don't use your finger to spread the Caulk; Home Depot, ect., sells the rubber tool(s) to spread the Caulk.

Hi Jeff - absolutely love your videos and they've helped answer so many questions over the years. The way you communicate the info resonates strongly. I have a shower remodel nearly completed in my master bath (DIY homeowner... walk-in shower with dimensions 48W x 54L x 120H) and am ready to grout (planning to use Laticrete Spectralock 1). I have a question on caulking shower corners (ran across this video) that I find has two competing POVs and am interested in your POV. One POV I found is to grout the corners with the rest of the shower and then apply caulk. The other is to NOT grout the corners and instead, only caulk them to leave room for movement. If you were building a shower from scratch, how would you finish the corners?

[@chrisschmid9167]

can i just say after doing hundreds of tiling jobs the most important thing is ventilation for keeping your tiling joints nice and clean after the tiling work is completed.using spray bleach with a toothbrush on the grouting every now again helps to keep it looking new for years to come.also if you ever wipe the tiles down never use a yellow dusting cloth as the dye will stain the grouting.

[@framing2finish]

Corey grua I installed a acrylic tub last year. I used %100 silicone, and did fill the tub. In less than 6 months everything had separated. I looked into it a bit, and apparently some acrylics won't bond with the silicone, and you have to use acrylic caulking. May want to look it!

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Once you've taped your edges you'll never go back. So much cleaner and nicer looking.

[@jaimedeoliveira9216]

Nope. I never use fingers as it causes misting. I don’t use tape either as it creates a lip when you pull it off. Use a profiling tool like “fughi” great kit. I like these videos but disagree with his method in this vid. I silicone bathrooms almost daily. Using a profiling tool makes the job perfect.

[@jeffostroff]

Love the new into graphics! I also use the Fugi tool as well. Just a tiny 1/8" bead, I make the hole in my tube as a small as it can be and still allow the poker rod to penetrate the plastic seal. Then the Fugi tools it down perfectly, much better than my finger, and caulk doe snot ride up the wall.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Like I have said a thousand times, if you are good at latex caulking then you will be good at silicone. relying on the tool weakens your skills with latex as well. But it does work!

[@IAmAFixer]

Good job. Just remodeled a shower and did not grout the joints, but filled with silicone instead. Some spots required a significant amount of silicone. In the future I would do as you said and grout the joints as a backer, then fill with silicone. Great video, thanks!

Here's a tip for all of you. AFTER you've put the silacone in the groove, use a spray water bottle and wet the area before you wipe it with your finger. Silacone doesn't stick to water and will wipe off without smearing out of your finger and making a 1 inch seam.

Beautiful bead line, looks great, can tell you've done a LOT of caulking over the years. I use both my finger type method, along withe the Fugi(have the authentic got years ago, but have even tried the $2-$5 kits & works just as good). Redoing my home bath & they used acrylic caulk in my tub & kitchen, why, oh why(cuz it has all cracked & peeling off. It's a mess).

Hello there! thank for all the awesome video of DIY. It really get my motivation going to start projects at home. I have a question. I just finished installing MSI Hampshire 12 in. x 12 in. Gauged Slate Floor and Wall Tile that I got from Homedepot on our bathroom, it is not a smooth surface tile so when I put the grout because is not a smooth tile the grout got in every single crack and groove possible plus it dried a bit too long and now I'm suffering the consequences. How do you remove dried grout from the surface of the tile?

Believe or not. We’ve been in this house 19 years. Never had to recaulk once, never had mold. NEVER My cousin had a squeegee in her shower and I asked her about it. She dries her walls and caulk lines after each shower. So in this house we did the same. No mold ever. Gotta check after the kids shower to make sure they toweled the caulk lines. It only takes 3 minutes to dry the walls and caulk lines. If you take a shower and leave You will have the water sitting and you will get mold. I’m thankful to my cousin.

Very informative!! It is I think a skill but it can be done if you take your time and don't over do the silicone.
