    • Trim the tool a little at a time, since you cannot add width back once it is cut.
    • Finish one joint at a time while its caulk is still wet.

    How to use

    2. Step 2Hold the tool at a low angle and draw it along the bead in one steady stroke.
    3. Step 3Clear the collected caulk off the tool after every pass.
    4. Step 4Leave the shaped bead alone until it cures as the caulk label directs.

    About this product

    Turning a wobbly bead into a clean, even joint

    Most caulk jobs look rough because of the finishing, not the gun. The Homax Caulk Finishing Tool is a small white scraper you draw along a fresh bead. It presses the caulk into the joint and lifts the extra off as it goes, so you are not smearing it around with a fingertip.

    You can cut the tool down to suit the bead you are running, which helps when one job has a thin joint at the backsplash and a wider one at the tub. It handles any caulk, silicone sealer included, on tile, windows and siding. Keep a rag nearby to clear the scooped caulk off the tool between passes.
