The hard work is done. 5+ hours of dredging old sealant from tile joints. I'll let it dry overnight and finish up tomorrow.

It is now time for a burrito and beers.

    Well done ! I did this a few years back. It sucks in the midst of it, buy great when it's all finished

    Do mine next! I never could figure out how to caulk a straight line and my bathroom is overdue.

    I have a pork shoulder to smoke and a good selection of beers so can make it worth your while

    How do you know it's dry enough to apply new sealant?

    Good job BTW!

    I'm sure the exposed surfaces were dry enough in less than an hour. I waited overnight to let moisture in the joints evaporate. No way to tell if it's actually dry, so it's just a matter of 'more is better'.

    Absolutely nothing like properly prepping for a job to make the job itself significantly easier! Solid work :)

    An evil but necessary job. Definitely time for burritos and beer!
