There seems to be a lot of caulking that goes on around my house. By my count, last Saturday I took on caulk project #5: Re-caulking the outside of my tub. It went something like this in case you are inclined to follow suit:
- Use box cutter and flat-head screwdriver to pry up and scrape off all of the old caulk.
- Wipe down the surface with rubbing alcohol. Allow surface to dry.
- Put painters tape on either side of the seam to create a straight line for the caulk.
- Apply the bead of caulk.
- Use wet finger to smooth the surface of the caulk. Have a bunch of paper towels or rags available to wipe off excess caulk.
- Peel off tape while caulk is still wet.
Before. Don't look too close; it's gross.
After. Still don't look too close. It's better than the before, but bathroom floors are gross by nature.

No, what is she eluding to? I have no idea what you are hinting at!
