1. Before you start caulking, make sure you take a shower, you never know how long your simple project is going to take. Plus, you can only asked to use your friend's shower so many times before you feel like a loser and asking the new neighbors is just awkward.
2. Make sure, especially if you decide to caulk on a whim because you find it under your sink, that the caulk is pliable.
3. Invest in a couple of things: caulk remover, your favorite alcohol, and the books Caulking for Dummies, How I Caulked and Lived to Talk About It, and When Caulk Goes Bad: How to Heal when Silicone Hurts.
4. Be aware that when you go to the hardware store, you will feel like a complete idiot. Thankfully you can make yourself feel better by buying ice cream and sunglasses.

Has it dried yet? How does it look? You can now add master caulker to your resume :)
I showered today, there wasn't a puddle, so hopefully it's all good
Wow, those are really good lessons for me to remember (as I have never considered caulking before)! Thanks for sharing your newfound wisdom. =)
