Use masking tape to define the edges of the bead of caulk.

Use a wet finger to smooth out the bead.

Let it dry overnight.

Cut along the edges of the tape with a razor blade so that when you pull the
tape off it will not pull out the caulk.

Okay, this sounds silly but I can never get the silicone to look as
perfect as I see it when contractors have done it. How do you get this
stuff to look like a perfect smooth application?
