Default How can I apply silicone caulking

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?


Put masking tape close to both sides of the seam, use your finger to
form/smooth as louie explained, then immediately remove the tape. The
goal is to place the tape and smooth the caulk so that the cove formed
by the caulk feathers out to nil at the tape edge.
