Boredom

I do lots of stuff around the house. Some of it I enjoy, some of it I tolerate, but there's one job that drives me absolutely fucking bannanas.


Caulking gun theory is pretty simple - maintain steady pressure on the trigger and move the nozzle at a constant speed. But I just can't seem to make a neat bead.

The worst thing is recovering from mistakes, wiping off excess goop usually makes a bigger mess than what I started with. This time I got a little smart, I cut my rag into a dozen mini-rags and threw them out after 1 use, which saved a lot of accidental gooping.

Discuss.

Alternatively, a palette knife (with a rounded end) can work quite well.
