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?

I think it does a better job than a credit card or something similar.
I use the wet finger approach too. Extremely effective. Rinse finger and re-wet often. The trouble is, depending on the caulk, wetting with water doesn't always work. For Proflex I wet it with paint thinner and that works extremely well. Perhaps not the healthiest but it hasn't killed me yet, or caused my fingers to fall off.
Be careful not to use too much liquid because that might cause the caulk to dissolve.
