the line was bumpy until he went over it with his finger. Do you guys get paid for being assholes or do you do that for free?

OMG, did you see your own video? That does not look any good. YOu have to do a better job of presenting to people. Try to go out and see other posted videos that are much better.

Well said. I can hardly improve upon your terse assessment but here goes: He pointed out the obvious and did the job badly. The tips that might have been usefull are to take the pressure off of the caulking gun before you set it on the floor. I guess he doesn’t want to rob the neophytes from learning that experience on their own by seeing the pool of ooze on the floor or carpeting. he didn’t show how to cut the tip for someone who has never done it.
Thankx

Should have removed the old caulk and cleaned it out better then applied the new caulk. Attention to detail makes a huge difference.
