How to Caulk a Kitchen Sink 

"...unlike Bob, who likes to live a little dangerously." *HAHAHAHAHAHA!* Made my day. Thanks for a great Bob and Shelly co-production.

Very well done, clearly explained, and thorough. It's refreshing to watch a video where the creators worked to make sure the narrative explained the video closely.

Thanks for the great video folks. I'd done this job years ago but having such a clear walkthrough really made it easy this time. Especially as I'd completely forgotten you need to take the tape off before the caulk sets...

"....unlike Bob, who likes to live a little dangerously" hahaha that was a funny addition! thanks for sharing! the painter's tape was very helpful, and I enjoy the format of this video

great video. thorough and to the point. good camera angles as well. thanks.

Excellent demonstration and summary. Thank you.

Thank you Bob! Really appreciate this instructional video!!!

Very helpful, clear, and informative video. Appreciated both showing how and explaining how to do this project.I also appreciated the time estimate for this project given at the end of the video! Thank you

Hi, tried it....worked great! Thank you for this video!

the video omits the hardest part, manoeuvering behind the taps and faucet! How do you do that in a smooth way? My tube doesn't fit smoothly behind there.

Really nice job explaining and demonstrating!

Thank you for the tutorial.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Oh my gosh you're a lifesaver! I can't caulk to save my life. Can't wait to try this!

this has been super helpful, thank you so much! 😊

Thank you Bob and Shelly!

Thanks For Sharing.

Thank you, an excellent help, saving a lot of money.

Great video!

helpful - thank you!

Nice job,helpful

A good project is 75% preparation 25% execution 😉

thanks for the tip. It really is useful

very helpful, Simple, to the point, the painter's tape is perfect! Just might have Bob smile at the end! Thank you!

Thank you!!!❤

Laying down some caulk like a boss.

Thank you!!

Thanks!

THANK YOU!

Thank you.

That's an awesome tutorial. I've never seen it done with painter's tape before. That's brilliant. Would the same procedure work around my tub? What kind of caulk would I look for? And I wonder how long it would take to dry before showering would be OK.

The counter top around my sink is starting to come up. Its old formica. Theres rot under it. How can fix this without replacing the whole counter top. I may use a peel and stick product but this has to be fixed first. Thanks for showing an accurate way to caulk. Truly appreciated.

thanks Bob

Any thoughts from anyone in the group on how to remove the old caulk from the rear of the sink? And for getting the appropriate angle on the tube when laying in the new caulk?

I enjoyed the Star Trek computer narration.

thanks!

I like the narative voice of a women in this video

I like the painter's tape idea. A remodeling guy told me you should not use the kitchen sink for at least 24 hours prior to putting on new caulking. We hadn't done this, and the caulking didn't dry properly.

Re-calking the sink only requires a small amount of caulk, since I did not have any other projects that needed caulking I opted for the squeeze tube. Using a calking gun would have work just as well.

What caulking is best?

After you take off the tape, the silicon sort of has a raised edging created by the tearing of the tape, will this raised line settle down later so that it will look like part of the sink?

Do you guys recommend a particular brand of caulking?

What's the best sealant for kitchen sink?

You never showed main caulking behind the water tap/pipes, which is much more tactful?

Wow that tape is a good idea. Caulk is a freaking mess

Thank you! Is the procedure the same with silicone caulk?

Great but how do you get the back of sink on splash board side avoiding kitchen faucet?

I used a few drops of dish detergent and a bit of water to remove accessed caulking.

How did you get the old caulk out from behind the faucet. Looks tight.

Doesn't mention how long it will take to dry and when can sink be used .

Terrific video! Can you remember off hand how many inches of caulk did you lay? And did your caulk firm up without any kind of stimulus?

I was able to use the tip of my finger and glide it over the caulk. It wasn't too hard.

What kind and brand of caulking did you use?

Doesn’t show taping on back of sink behind fixtures!

my new tube of caulk is very hard to get out.

What sort of tape is used here?

what size is this sink?

You didn't show how the work was done in the very tight area behind the taps.

I found SinkSEAL to be much easier if the sink is out or if you are replacing the sink or counter. I got mine on Amazon. No mess or dry time.

Did not show how to remove old caulk from behind the faucet that is very narrow.

oh man, so much caulk

How long do you need to let the caulking dry before using the sink?

The caulk goes under the sink not around it

5:53

that's an old body mans trick

Do not use tape because when you remove it you will have 2 edges that will be bacteria holders. Plus it’s tedious & a waste of time. After calking spray water or water with a drop of dish soap on both the backsplash and counter top, then spray your finger and smooth out the calk in about 5” strokes, then wipe your finger clean, then respray you finger and continue. Repeat until the desired width of calk you like.😊 When you don’t use water the width of the calk can spread too wide on both the backsplash and counter.

What are you at...no wrong way you never use tape when calking and it should only takes a few minutes

You don't need to tape. Lay down silicone then spray all around the edge of the sink with soapy water, then remove silicone with finger and perfect silicone.

Damn Bob is hot 😍

It’s not what I needed

This is a perfect example of how NOT to caulk a sink. No one wastes their time putting all that tape on. WAY too much caulk being used. End result looks terrible.
