Topic: Caulking | |
---|---|
I recently re tiled me bathroom. I did it myself without a problem but
when it came time to caulk around the tub. That is when the fun started. The darn thing started spewing EVERYWERE. No matter what I did I could not get it to stop. Made me laugh so hard. And sorry guys the first thing it made me think of was you...lmao But anyways,I threw the darn gun in the sink and let it finish it's little puke fest there...lol. As a result of me doing that I now have caulk stuck to my sink and I do not know how to get it off. Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? |

razor blade?, and maybe something like nail polish remover, or something
to looosen it? |
|

will try the nail polish remover thank you. |

Hey kid,
first of all, while you're caulking, there is a liitle thumb lever to release the tube. when relaxing between areas that you're caulking, press that thumb lever and the caulk will stop flowing ( or whatever dirty word you were thinking of). Try carefully scraping the caulk with a razor blade and the use Ajax. |

Paint thinner might work.

If the sink is a plastic one you cant use a strong solvent.

Any more questions, Call a guy first !!! You have to admit, We're good
for something!! You should be able to save that sink. Just keep peeling and scratching with your fingernails until the nail polish remover or paint thinner works. |

LOL Sage.
And I do not know what kind it was. I just went to Wal-Mart and asked if they caulk. Trust me that was an embarrassing day as well...lol. |

Probably porcelain then.Solvents are ok on that.
|
|
|
|
might want to let the solvent set awhile so it can get into the caulk
better |
