How to caulk a bathtub


A great do it yourself project is re-caulking a bathtub. I like to use a caulk tool to remove all the old caulk. I prefer a tool that pushes out the old caulk. You can also use a plastic scraper.
Once the old caulk is removed, treat any mold.
A simple way to apply the new caulk is with a squeeze tube. It goes on easy and you can smooth it with a finger. Only cut a small opening in the tip of the tube. You can always apply more caulk.
Work from one corner to the middle, then start from the opposite side and work toward the caulk you applied. This will keep the corners from having a buildup of caulk.
