Any advice on applying the 3m4000uv caulking to the deck seams? I don't like the results I got. It came out very uneven. I may have to remove it and try again.
Thanks, Greg

I taped out the decking, put the caulk in the groove then smoothed with the back of a plastic spoon. The spoons will get tacky from time to time. Just get a fresh one. Let the caulk on the tape firm up before removing the tape or caulk.

Hope that helps.

Bill
