the house, b the material expensive and the job difficult for a B. DrfHHfltlZgd
beginner?
Caulking compound of polyvinyl acetate is relatively in-
expensive, considering that proper caulking results in reduced
utility bills. You will need, in addition to the compound, the
caulking gun, a putty knife, screwdriver, cleaning solvent (fluid)
and a ladder.
Experience always helps, especially where neatness is con-
cerned, but the noyice caulker can do an adequate job by re-
membering that the basic idea is to thoroughly seal all cracks
and air holes. Work on one side of the house at a time. Don’t
rush, and when you are finished, re-examine what you have 81
done carefully to determine if any openings were missed. Most
caulking will be done around windows, where floors and walls
join on porches, around water faucets, loose boards or shingles.
Chimneys should also be inspected.
Before applying the caulking material, dean the area to be
caulked carefully with a putty knife and then solvent, to be sure
that all loose paint, dirt or old caulking material is removed.
Loose hoards and shingles should be nailed or glued before
caulk is applied.
Apply caulk along window edges so that the bead overlaps
both sides of the crack or opening. Poly vinyl acetate is available
in rope form for long, deep cracks, and should be forced into the
crevice with a screwdriver.
