A new paintable silicone caulk first and then paint. Once you've marked the spots and selected your weapon, it’s time to get down to business Here are a few “how-to" hints that can help make your job a little bit easier 1> Before you start, read th" manufacturer's instructions. It always saves time and trouble. 21 Think about the areas to fill and carefully cut the cartridge tip to get a right size bead. 31 Be sure application surfaces are dry. clean and free of dirt, grime and paint chips. 41 Make your seal and bead as even as possible by pushing the cartridge tip ahead of the caulk at a 45 angle to the surface as you apply. 5) When your bead is laid down, you may wish to tool it to a smooth look by troweling it with a wet stick or knife. 6> “Overruns” can be trimmed with a razor blade after the caulk has dried Hopefully you’re as enthusiastic as we are about beating the energy crunch We’re just determined to win that contest And, after all the cost savings alone can be well worth the effort. Good luck and good caulking For more information on caulking. you may also wish to contact Silicone Products De partment. CPO IHA Genera! Electric Co Waterford NeuYork 12188. (518) 237-3330
