Does the Pro Caulk really work?
Nov 29, 2008 by Serena ;) | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
Hi, for Christmas I want to buy my dad a Pro Caulk since he likes doing a lot of things by himself. He likes to put the silicon for like the bathroom and everything. So i wanted to buy him the Pro Caulk. I was wondering does it actually work or is it a waste of your money?

Personally I have had better luck with using fingers,rubber glove and a damp rag for caulking.I would say rather to buy dad some handy tools from like Home Depot,Lowe's or Ace hardware.There sales reps can help you a bunch,buy the way there are some big sales going on right now for the shoppers.
Good Luck and keep thinks about dad

Are any stores selling Pro Caulk Tools?

you don't want them. get a few trowels 1/4, 1/2, and 1" grind the edges round. keep clean with alcohol, or m.e.k.
that stuff you want is junk, you would be better off cutting a credit card to the shape you want.

Can you fix wall/ceiling cracks with caulk?
Apr 06, 2007 by Kate H | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I have a couple large cracks where the ceiling meets the wall then I have other minimal cracks on different spots of the wall. I've heard from a couple different places that you can make a V and fill it with caulk and that will get rid of the cracks & they shouldn't come back. I don't want to spend $600+ to have a pro come & fix. Any help would be awesome, I wanna try to start this weekend. Thanks
The large cracks should be field with (1) a hard material, fix all, it is fast drying. do not level fix all to wall level. have a slight bow (2) use a slow drying compound such as wall board compound, it is slow drying and easy sand able. (3) sand the compound the next day. the small cracks use the v shape you mentioned. but when using the 1 " putty knife be sure you put 2 coats of the compound on the cracks. don't try to finish it to quickly or it won't level to the wall correctly.
Oh by the way why not caulking ??? caulking shrinks
now that this is said, if this a older house which will be lath an plaster use concrete material.
sometimes older houses tend to expand and contract the cracks, due to the weather. good luck
oh by the way, why not caulking? caulking will shrink and not be level with the wall.

How on earth do you re-caulk a bathroom?
Jan 08, 2009 by Elizabeth | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
We have been in our house now for about 4 years and are now slowly updating everything! Our bathroom has this horrible clear looking caulk that can't be painted over, however when we moved in we tried re-painting. Now you can see where the caulk is, the color that was originally on the walls! It looks horrible! Now I am ready to re-caulk and and add some fresh paint to cover up the hideous blue that was originally there. I need help on how to get started. Does the Pro-Caulk that is on As Seen On TV work?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Elizabeth - you haven't been able to paint over it because it's silicon based. Home Depot, Lowes, or really any home improv. store will carry multiple colored caulking. Buy one that is marked "LATEX". There are now mixture styles (silicon and latex). I tend to stay away from those to be safe.
I'd suggest going with bright white latex caulking. Very important: before you try to recaulk, carefully strip all the old caulking using a safety razor blade (also at Home Depot - only sharp on one side). After you do that, clean the area to be sealed with soap/water and let it dry. Finally, and absolutely vital if you want it to look right. Apply masking tape (3M blue tape works great) along either side of what you'll be caulking. So, if you were doing the bathtub, you'd lay masking tape on the bathtub 'edge' about an 1/8" from the wall; then another strip of tape along the tile wall 1/8" from the bathtub edge. Now lay the caulk using a caulking gun; run your finger along the caulk to smooth it; and then pull the masking tape off (pretty much right away, but no more than 10mins after spreading the caulk). You'll get great results every time. Best, Eddie.

Grout or Caulk?
Apr 02, 2008 by Dingo444 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I am a carpenter by trade, but I have a customer who would like me to address an issue with his bathtub, The tub surround at the bottom of the tiled wall is sealed with very old grout. My thinking is that it would be best to scrape the grout out until I have a clean surface, then seal it with a good quality bath caulk. Anyone have any comments pro or con regarding this issue. Thanks!
You will have to scrap the old grout out, then caulk . You are right, you need to use a good quality and make sure they understand not to let it get wet for several hours.
