Good day, students!
Caulking showers can be stressful! You've spent so much time on planning and building the shower and caulking is the last step. In this video I demonstrate how I caulk shower corners.
First - is to make sure the walls are totally dry and clean of any thinset or soap scum.
2nd - Cut tip of caulking tube at a 30 degree angle and start out small (3/16").
3rd - Practice, yes I said practice! Try an area in a low visible area and find the right caulking tool that scraps and leaves behind a small amount of silicone.
4th - Apply caulk as neatly as possible (being continuous with the application helps).
5th - Spray down the newly applied bead with Windex with Vinegar (not the blue Windex, it can STAIN tile permanently). This will prevent smearing along the tiles.
6th - Use caulking tool to remove excess silicone.
7th - Lightly apply pressure with your finger to smoothly finish the joint.
