When you’re old
exterior caulk shows signs of cracking and discoloring, it is time to replace
it.
Removing old caulk
begins with a carpenter’s knife and a flat screw driver or putty knife.
Using the
carpenter’s knife cut the old caulk line along the edge of the surfaces areas it
is in contact with.

|
Once you have
cut the old exterior caulk, use a screw driver and/or putty knife to dig the
old exterior caulk out of the seam. This process can take some time, however
it is important to remove all of it from the seam before re-caulking.
Once you have
removed all of the old exterior caulk, sweep and clean out the seam.
After
thoroughly removing any loose particles and dust in and around the seam,
apply a new bead of exterior caulk to the seam using a caulking gun.
|
To help ensure
smooth caulk lines, you may consider applying masking tape on either side of the
seam before applying the caulk. Just remember to remove the tape immediately
after applying the caulk.
