n �Prepare the surface to be caulked by removing any dust, dirt, or remnants of old caulking. Make sure the area to be caulked is clean and dry.

n Hold the gun at a slight angle. If filling a crack, insert the

 

 

 

spout into the crack, if possible; otherwise, run the caulk

 

 

gun along the surface.

 

 

n Squeeze the trigger on the caulk gun, allowing the caulk

CAULK BEAD

 

to extrude from the tube tip.

 

 

NOTE: If the bead of caulk is too narrow, re-cut the nozzle to provide a larger opening. However, it is better to apply a thin bead of caulk and add a little more if necessary than to apply too much and attempt to remove the excess.

n Carefully move the caulk gun at an even pace along the gap to be filled as you continue to depress the switch trigger. Make sure the caulk comes in full contact with both application surfaces. If necessary, use your finger to gently press the caulk into a corner or crack.

NOTE: The best fill is usually achieved by pushing the

 

caulk out into the gap in a forward motion. However, in

 

some cases (particularly where the side materials are

 

rough or uneven), a pulling motion may work better as

 

the cartridge will be less likely to get snagged along the

joint.

 

nThe motor will shut off automatically when a caulk tube becomes empty. Pull the plunger rod back and replace the caulk tube as necessary.

n�To end the caulk bead, release the switch trigger.

nDraw a moistened finger or other “smoothing tool” along the caulk bead after applying. This will help the caulk adhere to the application surfaces and will create a clean,

finished appearance.

n Use a damp towel or rag to clean off any excess caulk.
