Tips on a neat finish for caulk?
This seems like a silly question, but how do you get a nice finish when caulking? I always seem to come away feeling like it's a mess. Any good tools to smooth it out?

What I hate about using a caulking gun is that when you run a bead and then release the pressure on the plunger, it still comes out a bit. Gotta make sure you lay the gun down on something immediately so the caulk won't get where it shouldn't be. They really should fix that... :(
Painters tape takes a while to put down but it really helps in keeping caulk off surrounding surfaces. Must pull it off right after you run a finger or tool along the bead. A plastic spoon works well for a shaping tool and you can sand down the tip of it for a smaller or larger radius.
