Great video. One thing I wanted to call out is after you cut the tip of the caulk tube at a 45 degree angle, you never state what angle you have the tip at when you are dragging the caulking gun across the joint. For some, this is not obvious. Other videos show tips where the caulking gun is pushed instead of pulled, resulting in less caulk waste. But again, the angle of the cut tip can matter.

NOT LIKE THAT. Not with your finger. There are dirt cheap rubber spatulas/spatulae for this. After applying silicone use a spray bottle with CLEAN water and spray all the corners gently. Silicone won't stick to wet surfaces, but it is already stuck in the corners. So it is easier to form nice bead without SMEARING everything around. You can use your fingers at the end to gently correct some spatula mistakes. Always apply silicone in sections that can be sprayed and formed. If there's more than one colour, you need to 40-60 minutes before applying the next colour. The best indicator if the silicone is set or not is the sprayed water. If it dried, silicone is set, if there are wet places, silicon is not set. I also always use wet wipes for cleaning my hands and tools. Been doing this since 1998 and my clients are always amazed how good my silicone beads are.
