greg,
You'll have to search in the archives as the best and most complete TC re-caulking report was about 3 years ago. I cannot recall the author. It was so good i copied it down and used it as a guide when I did a major re-caulk at that time. There was what to do and use, and what not to do and use: like silicone caulking: run away. Who knew? Once you use it nothing will stick to it and it's hard to remove. Not a good position to be in. I assembled the materials and methodically cleaned up the old beads and puddles, some were removed if damaged and some trimmed and caulked over using the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.' maxim. I've done a couple slightly less comprehensive caulkings each of the last years and so far, no leaks. As the author above has noted, caulking with a caulking gun is an art form gained by experience. I did smooth over a couple boo-boos by dipping my finger in lacquer thinner.
regards, as always, jefe
