Yesterday Joy and I decided to recaulk some items on the roof top, A couple of antenna bases, a search light base, and an anchor light base. We removed everything and cleaned off old caulk and got everything ready to reinstall. I laid out all new screws for eveything and moved all the tools out the way and got the caulking ready. This was all going pretty good and then it turned to crap. I always use way too much caulk and can't find the original screw holes, pickup the wrong screw for the hole ,caulking all over the tools and everything including us. I wound up with caulk in my armpitnow I have a half waxed armpit. I'm glad it's on the roof top and the only person that will notice and comment is the guy next to us that sits in his flybridge all the time.
We finished and cleaned everything up, relaxed on the aft deck, drank a couple beers and a good laugh about it all. There has to be a better way to go about this.
Does anyone want to share some caulking techniques? I know there has to be a better way. I seem to start out with what I think is a good plan but it almost always turns into a huge mess.
