How to Caulk the Bathtub the Wrong Way According to a Bitter Wife

By Team SimplyBathtubs.com . December 19th, 2008

That’s right folks– it can be done. If you want to learn how to caulk your bathtub incorrectly like my husband did yesterday, please follow these valuable tips:

-Allow the dire task at hand sit and wait until you’re forced into it by your "nagging" wife.
-Let everyone think you are a professional but go online to search exactly what caulking a bathtub entails.
-Set out to buy the cheapest caulk you can find in the hardware store.
-Bring back a household tube of cement meant to hold together ceramics. Go back to the hardware store to get the correct caulking material for bathtubs.
-Remove the old caulk in a haphazard manner so that there are still remnants of it left behind.
-Cut the tip of the tube a hole too large thereby increasing the amount of caulk you have to remove and clean up.
-Don’t remove the said excess caulk that has started to dry around the bathtub and continue applying the bead.
-Apply the caulk too slowly and create crooked lines along the bathtub seams.
-Fail to smooth over the caulk so that there are ridges and bumps in the bead.
-Don’t clean up after yourself and leave all your tools right where they are around the discount whirlpool tub. There will always be a complying  woman there to do it for you eventually.
-Get a warm blanket to sleep on the uncomfortable couch for the night.
