My name's Ryan Parker with Parker Home Renovation in New Braunfels, Texas and today I'm going
to teach you use a caulk gun. You may need to use a caulk gun if you plan to caulk around
a bathtub or a sink or a, any kind of corners. Now the first thing you're going to need to
do is you need to go down to the hardware store, any local hardware store, and find
the correct kind of caulk or silicone that you're going to use. In this case, I'm going
to use a white silicone. Then you'll need your caulk gun such as this and what you'll
do is you'll get your caulk, and if your caulk gun has a spout cutter already, you can stick
the end of the tube in the spout cutter and actually just cut it off. Then you'll want to turn the puncture pin
on the end, puncture a hole in the end of the caulk, then you'll want to push this little
button on the back and pull, pull it out and slide your caulk in. Then you pump it until
there's tension on the tube. Then what you'll do is you'll actually start, apply pressure
to the caulk gun, and then you just run a nice smooth bead down on whatever you plan
on caulking. When you're done, you in the button on the back, pull it out, slide your
caulk out, and you're done. Now make sure you clean your application before you caulk
it, that way the caulk adheres to it.
