caulking tip

When you are applying caulking, an easy way to get a nice consistent look to the caulk bead is to use the eraser end of an unused wood pencil... the kind you used to use in elementary school. It's the perfect size for getting a good finish for your caulk and it's a lot less messy than using your finger.
