Hard Caulk Pics! - space-time - 11-19-2009 You guys asked for pictures last night. I managed to make some progress tonight. I bought a better pair of protection goggles (this stuff is flying like pieces of glass all over the place) and in about 45 minutes I cleaned up the entire length of the tub, now I need to do the ends and after that I shall caulk. I don't have time to finish tonight since the kids are sleeping and I am not allowed to hammer. but here is the picture. This stuff is almost like china, hard and brittle. sometimes there is a section of maybe 1/2" that is a little softer, but most sections are hard. sorry about the white balance, I set the camera to Tungsten but I guess it still didn't come out right. http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6343/img3970j.jpg Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - Markintosh - 11-19-2009 So what's the white stuff in your hard caulk pics? :wink: Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - davester - 11-19-2009 Looks like someone had a "brighter idea" and installed something instead of caulk. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - tenders - 11-19-2009 I bet that's grout with less than the recommended amount of sand in it--not caulk. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - JoeH - 11-19-2009 If there are soft areas, then I am betting on old style caulking that hardened over the years. Not vinyl, acrylic latex or silicone caulk. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - space-time - 11-19-2009 they're not really soft ares. maybe not as hard as the rest of the damn thing. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - Black - 11-19-2009 I can't tell anything from that pic. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - Mac1337 - 11-19-2009 space-time wrote: But isn't that precisely the time TO hammer? Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - RAMd®d - 11-19-2009 It looks to me like the caulk was applied by a male in his mid-forties, left-handed, probably with a mild heart condition, and definitely being divorced by his wife. Pretty obvious there's a history of drug abuse starting in his senior- no- junior year of high school. He also committed suicide on his fiftieth birthday. I can't tell any more without better white balance. Re: Hard Caulk Pics! - lafinfil - 11-19-2009 Whatever it is, it's poorly done Continue blasting it out and take no prisoners ! |
