Simple Tips on Caulking a Shower StallBy Mark J. DonovanLast week I
was able to try out some new caulk from DAP on a shower stall
caulking project. I did a short video on it, so check it out
below.In the video I show a few simple tips on how to caulk a
shower stall. All you need to do it right is some silicone based
caulk, a caulking gun, a utility knife, a rag, and some masking
tape.It is important to remove all of the old caulk prior to
installing new caulk as silicone caulk sticks well to everything
except itself. Use a utility knife to help cut away and scrape out
the old caulk.After removing all of the old caulk and cleaning up
the shower pan with a rag, I then apply masking tape just above and
below the seam I want to caulk. This helps to get a fast and clean
caulk line.Once the mask...

How To Use Acrylic Latex Caulk
We've been doing a lot of remodeling work in our kitchen recently.
Removing wallpaper and installing beadboard paneling were the first
two steps to updating the kitchen. Now we are painting and
caulking. I have decided that wood putty is best suited for filling
nail holes and acrylic latex caulk is great at filling in large
gaps in trim-work and everywhere that the beadboard paneling
doesn't quite meet up with door and window frames. Acrylic latex
caulk is super easy to work with. Why? Beca...

Caulking Baseboards Doesn't Work. So What's the Solution?
I always see advice about caulking baseboards, and I wonder how
other people get this to work. When we talk about baseboard caulk,
we're talking about applying painter's caulk to the upper ridge of
the baseboard, where the baseboard meets the wall. Or
should we say:Â where the baseboard is supposed to meet
the wall... Why People Caulk Baseboards Yet often, baseboards do
not meet the wall. Even in newer walls, you'll find
gentle curves which form gaps along the tops of the baseboards. In
extreme cases, these gaps are so big that they allow air
infiltration and can seriously impact your energy
bills. In minor cases, these gaps are simply
unattractive. I think that when...
Removing Shower Ceramic Wall Tile
A New Video on the Removal of Ceramic Wall Tile from a Shower
StallBy Mark J. DonovanIn the below video, I show the first stage
in remodeling a custom ceramic tile shower, the removal of the
shower ceramic wall tile.When removing shower ceramic wall tile
make sure you where safety goggles and leather gloves as chips of
ceramic tile fly everywhere. This
3’x3’ shower stall area
took about 3 hours to completely remove the ceramic wall tiles. I
used a hammer, heavy duty chisel, and a utility knife to remove the
ceramic wall tile. It requires some significant hand strength as
you will be swinging a hammer for an extensive period of time.If
you plan to replace your shower tile and want to keep the existing
shower pan, make sure to lay cardboard in the shower pan prior to
removing the ceramic...
