Caulk Removal Introduction


Caulk Removal Introduction
In the tutorial How to Caulk Like a Pro, I describe an easy technique for caulking your tub or sink. But the first step is removing the old caulk if your caulk job is not a "first timer."

In this tutorial I'll give you some tips on how to easily remove old caulk and prepare the surface for your new caulk.

You'll want the old caulk removed and the surface well cleaned before you attempt your new caulking job.
