Place masking tape carefully along either side of the joint, lay the caulk into the joint with a caulking gun, smooth it down with single pass of a wet finger and remove the masking tape fairly soon thereafter, definitely well before the caulk starts to dry. In removing the tape pull it up and away from the joint at about a 45 degree angle. Sue and I just re-caulked 5ZQ's right wing after the bird strike repair. It's a quick, easy and cheap procedure that we like much better than the white tape we had used previously. Bill & Sue Harrelson N5ZQ 320 N6ZQ IV
