15 times is crazy specific! Let’s all give this guy a round of applause for the research he does!
….sometimes I just make these crazy numbers up….
Get outta here!
Thanks for the tip about the multitool scraper (I now have one use for that sucker!).
Before you apply the new caulk check that the boards are nailed in tight. Basically push on the trim board and if it moves in a little bit then it needs renailed. Take a finish nail or smooth box nail and cut the head off of it with some snips and chuck it into your drill. Use this as a drill bit it will make the perfect hole for the nails it will keep it from splitting and from taking the wrong path. This technique works if you have to nail some hardwood also like oak or something when you don't have a nail gun.
Thanks for this 15X tip! I'm kicking myself for never even considering using my multitool for this type of job before. Thanks again!
Your videos are so good. Relatable, understandable, full of valuable tips. And your bloopers always give me a good smile 😊
Thanks buddy🍻
For remodeling especially, the multi tool was such a game changer in sooooo many things. I would say it's the handiest and most valuable tool I have in my arsenal!
I am a home improvement contractor and he uses very similar technique as me it's a good tutorial. One thing I found that works well for scraping the caulking off is a sharp chisel, something about a half inch or so wide is pretty good. Put the bevel of the chisel tip against the wood. You do have to be careful and use good technique or you'll gouge to the wood. Done correctly it will really shave that stuff off. It's best if the chisel is basically like new where hasn't been abused.
Another thing I have found that softens up the caulking and makes it easier to remove is get a rag wet with acetone and wipe the caulking with that it will soften it up and make it easier to remove. For removing the small bits after scraping and cutting you can take a furniture stripping pad and get it wet with acetone and scrub it it will take that stuff right off. Then finish out with rag dampened with the acetone. Having it cleaned with acetone will also make the new caulking stick really well.
It is very important to remove the old caulking, if you don't get it all off it will hurt the performance of the caulking and it will not look as good either.
Another thing I found that works well for getting the caulking out after cutting it, is use a hook blade. It will grab that stuff and pull it out but again be careful with your technique not to cause damage. I've had good luck using this for getting silicone caulking from around the bathtub and tile wall.
Another contractor here that uses a 1/2 or 3/4 chisel. I actually hit both sides of the chisel and round the corners with sandpaper. That stops most of the digging into qood.
This is brilliant. I’ve been having to recaulk every window in this house we bought and fighting with a putty and utility knife. Only recently acquired the oscillating multitool and didn’t even know the scraper blades existed. Will be a game changer for the rest of the windows and, I’m sure, will help getting flooring adhesive residue off the slab, too!
I wish I would have watched this an hour ago, but after an hour and getting about 4’ cleaned up a trip to the store to get a scraper blade for my multi tool to increase productivity for the other 40’ will be a trip worth taking. Thanks for the great idea.
I discovered this a few years back when repairing roof seams on an old RV. I was removing the old sealant by hand / putty knife and killing my hands. It occurred to me to try my multitool with a putty knife blade and it was soooooo much easier.
Bought a cheap oscillating multitool from Amazon after watching this. It made removing the ancient caulk and paint from my garage door trim a snap! Best $30 I ever spent. This thing has already paid for itself.
Bought the 12 volt Milwaulkee Multitool two years ago just for this purpose. Replaced 500 ft of cedar boards on my house. Used for removing the caulking. Very low to no vibration in your hands. No fatigue. Great tool.
This is LEGIT amazing! Used this today on my windows after watching your video yesterday. LOL I wish I had seen you caulking video before I put fresh caulking down (very poorly)
Thanks babes!!
My wife, and I are replacing the closet doorway trim in our MBR so I just got done pulling caulking off of that, chair rail, and baseboard. (The new trim was wider than the old stuff so I have to cut all of it down to fit.) I found it very difficult because it had been painted with several layers, and I couldn't find where the joint actually was. As a result I ended up cutting into the drywall paper a bit, and now have to prime those areas before putting them back on the walls.
This whole job has been one headache after another because this is the first time I've ever done it. One thing I will say is those trim head screws are a complete game changer even though their heads are much bigger than nails. I even managed to screw up and cut one of the miters in the wrong direction so now I have to go get another piece, but it will work out because I cut the top too damn short too, LOL.
On the bright side I've learned enough to know I'll be using paint stripper for the other two entryways because both of them are within inches of an inside corner wall, and I'm not even remotely interested in trying to deal with that nightmare. Thank you for all of your videos. I'll be using your calking tips to do all that once I'm ready for it!
Excellent video. I will show this to my son and I will never have to remove caulk again for the rest of my life 👍👍
That’s a good son you’ve got there!
I just purchased the Milwaukee Multitool and the All-Round Blade Kit. I look forward to using this tool to remove all the old caulk from our outdoor windows. Watching you use it, ensures I will enjoy this tool. Thank you for a great video.
The multi tool is absolutely the best way to do this. The time savings alone makes going out and purchasing a multi tool cost effective plus the chance of multiple tool marks on the wood trying to scrape and cut the caulk out is high. And once the tool is purchased the homeowner can learn how to use it to make their own sheet rock repairs and save a ton of money down the line when they need to enter a wall.
the saying goes you live and learn, I have about - 5 - of those kind of blades that I thought were useless because you cannot cut anything with them, and I have a lot of old caulking to remove, thank you so much for sharing
I have been a waterproofer for 31 years.
Removing failed sealants was always a pain in the azz.
The oscillating tools work great.
Forget the expensive scraper blade.
Dull woof cutting blades work great and wont dig into the wood or other materials as easily as sharp one.
The key to this is the vibration not the sharpness.
Wal mart sells Hyper Tough blades for about 5 dollars.
After use for cutting trim etc and they are dulled down they work great for sealant removal.
I will never do that job again without an oscillating tool.
I have listened to the Funny Carpenter for a couple of years.
If you are a homeowner or a novice, he wont steer you down the wrong path.
Other professionals may have ways that work better for them due to other experiences.
But for a DIYer his explanations work.
A little pro tip. After you get the majority of the caulk removed use a wire brush on a drill in this case being wood on wood joints you probably want to try a nelon wire wheel first but as long as your planning to paint. Been doing this for a while and works great to get down to bare substrate. Good video overall
The wire brushes on drills are so useful.
Multi tool just paid for itself, a home owner must have, and then a laser level. Your lady may even love the results.
The mutlitool with the scraper works very well at removing the padding off LVP vinyl flooring to use as stair riser kicks. Just glue on with Liquid nails and press to adhere and blue tape to hold in place till dry.
Never considered the multi tool. That will be a game changer. Thanks a lot
Love the two massive deck screws in the casing trim
Dude! This trim work is some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
Removing that old caulk with the oscillating tool might be about the most satisfying thing I've seen today...and that's coming from a guy who's about to eat a bunch of fudgicles so I have popsicle sticks for tooling.
This works!!!
Just did a few windows here and its amazing how fast it goes!
Whoa Canada…… what happened? 335k… way to go. Congrats. Great content. Thanks
The oscillating tool is definitely a multi function tool. I’ve had one in my toolbox for a while now.
I've had one in my pocket for about half an hour. Don't tell the store detective.
Excellent video bit once again you took the easy way out. We need a video on removing and caulking against brick veneer. Thanks!
2:43 the Home Depot *Ridgid* brand is MY favorite. Lifetime warranty on the tools AND the batteries!
Good tip! I never thought of using a multi tool. Best caulking is a polyurethane. It's highly flexible, paintable, does not shrink and sticks like you know what to a blanket. Cheers.
I don't know what's stuck to your blanket, nor do I want to know. My blanket and blankets of all of my friends are very clean.
@@weekendwarrior3420 Sticks like glue to a blanket. What did you think I was referring to? 💩
With the type of old caulk I had on my eaves I just used a heavy triangle scraper to scrape off the moldy caulk but left the caulk that was in the seams that was still good. Then I just primed and painted without having to recaulk. The final result was much better than if I removed all of the caulk and recaulked it because I ended up with very clean tight corners.
A five in one painters tool with a sharpened hook/point was always my go to for old caulking. Much more controllable than a utility knife
Try a utility knife with a hook blade. It works well after cutting it with a straight blade.
@@actionjksn sounds like a good option
The 5 in 1 tool is my go-to for caulk removal. I used to prep houses for painting many years ago, and you can't beat its speed and efficiency. I'd never use a utility knife.
@@chrishebert5672 same here brother.
I’m a 70s grandma. Going to try this myself. Love u tube! Thanks for the tip😀
I'm learning SO MUCH from videos like this . . . I'm so excited - I am going to get a large tattoo that says "I love Oscillating Scraper Tools for Adhesive Removal" . . . and then I'm going to name my next child "Oscillating Scraper Tool for Adhesive Removal Winsor" . . . um . . . okay, maybe that's taking the home improvement thing a little bit too far (ha) . . . thanks for the videos!!!
There was a time in my life when I asked why I would ever need a multi tool, then I bought one and I immediately understood why 😂
😂that was my dad! I was one of the first guys to get one when they came on the scene. He thought it was dumb….slowly but surely he was like hey can you make special cut again😎. Yes, yes I can!
I need videos on a couple things please, how to remove latex paint from aluminum siding without damaging siding, how to remove oil based paint from brick, how to remove old mortar from brick house…
Hope you keep discovering ways to save us all time! Well done!
as always, great video. Cheers from Ottawa.
Thank Luc🍻
Thank you so much for this! I need to do my entire house. The contractor originally used OSI Quad color matched caulk on LP Smartside siding and trim and it is all drying and leaving gaps. I can't wait to see your follow up video to this one discussing how to caulk and what product to use.
If you have large gaps that need caulked it helps to use foam backer rod. This is specifically what it is made for you just stuff it in to the large crack with a putty knife, and it comes in different diameters. It helps keep it from shrinking and pulling away from having to use so much. It also keeps you from using as much caulking.. this is only used when there are excessively large gaps.
Great video! Sadly I only achieved a 13 times speed improvement not the advertised 15 … please send refund cheque asap! 😂
Less coffee breaks!
@@TheFunnyCarpenter ah! My mistake 😆
My dude back at it with another banger!
Might have a chance with this one! You never know🍻
If you don't have an oscillating tool, maybe rig up your Whal electric trimmer 😉
Thankyou so helpful as I learn to do these things myself.
This is gold i was dreading this job
great info! Thank you for taking the time to make this video 👍❤🙏
Never thought to use an oscillating tool for caulk removal.
Thanks so much !
Thanks great tip on the multi tool and will get one soon
Looks like you just have me a reason to get a tool that I don’t have.
I dunno… to be honest, that looks to be closer to 21% faster. But that’s just me. 😁
😂15 could be a bit of a stretch, but it’s pretty close to 10x in my opinion🍻
I believe 15x is 1500% faster
I think he meant to say 15"%" faster 😂
@@JT_7015X is 1400% faster.
I only come here for the maths lessons.
Gee whizz thank goodness for p.p.e huh that was closer than close 😳
About to get the M12 and blade kit, cus I'm uk and using the link I'm wondering if you still get the kudos for the purchase, hoping so! You've game changed loads of things for me..... even door hinge problems..... brilliant vids thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are great. Thanks for the videos. I am working on repainting an exterior facing door. Had 4 layers of paint in it. Used paint remover and scraping with plastic tools and brushed with steel brush. Still see something that looks like caulking on the panels. Is that what it is? Should I try to remove it all and reapply before primer? We moved into this house last year and there are 65 years of living in it… it is from 1957 (east coast Florida) with some DIY that was a bit ..less detailed than desirable.
Love your channel neighbour.
With multitool you lose your hearing and a bit of hair if you do this often, otherwise it's great if it's corded.
Awesome. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips!
1:50 ❤
Do you have any tips for removing old caulking from brick
One small caveat with the multitool is that people on the inside are going to hear the vibration as noise, a lot more noise than scraping would make. Especially if they are doing a zoom call or office work. I ran into that at work when cutting single-gang holes in walls. Office workers were not at all happy with the loud BZZZZZZZZT sound of the multitool which vibrated the walls and seemed to fill the office, but were fine with a manual drywall saw.
What happened to doing it with a beer can opener? I've never tried that, by the way.
thanks great video
Thanks buddy
What would be the best caulking for out door trims like that
0:57. I’ve used hundreds of blades. NEVER had one snap off by mistake. _Just be careful!_
Will the MultiTool work for removing silicone caulk around outside windows? I have never seen the tool. I love it. It would make my job a lot easier and faster! If the tool will work to remove old silicone caulk around windows, I won't mess with a box knife or scrapper. Thank you in advance for answering my question.
Make room for j-Chanel that help close major gaps needing caulking
What do you do if one of those surfaces is brick?
I’m not going to lie, you have great skills but I can’t get over how impressive your beard is. 😆
If not. I use a stiff 5 in 1.
Brilliant....
😂😂 so funny. This guy is good!
Great tips...what have you got for removing 30 year old caulking from brickwork? The uneven & porous surface along the mortar has me stumped.
Are you keeping the multi tool flush on the wood or are you angling it into the caulk?
? Great info but what I will have to work with silicone. Can I apply new silicone to the area that I have removed old silicone from? Thank you.
👍👍👍Thank you
Multi-tool for sure
Do you have any problems with the battery disconnecting during vertical use? I have the same Milwaukee 12v and use it often but it's a bit of a pain using vertically as the battery will lose connection. I really enjoy the videos!
@The Funny Carpenter: Where did you get that SS hose hanger?
Off Amazon. It was like 35$.
What caulk did you end up using? Im looking for a good caulk for some exterior door trim.
Splendide
🍻
It looked quite easy how you removed it with a blade. Somehow its not that easy for me. Anyone know why? Different applied product?
Just remember, if one window is bad, they probably all are. Now say goodbye to the next 4 weekends.
Put down a drop sheet!
Multi tool does it even faster and does 0 damage
87% faster for sure 😜
Got bored so I watched at 3X speed. 45% faster!
I was really expecting a blowtorch or something.
Hope you just show us conclusion.

Don't buy a cheap oscillator and use the Fein mushroom blades.
1:35 That’s not a pull scraper. It’s called a pry bar.
Nope, that end of the pry bar is a pull scrapper. Thanks for watching
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Agreed, that end *can be used* as a scraper. Just like a high heel shoe can be used as a hammer. 😉
@@BitSmythe nah
Do not expect your painter to do this.
Funny I guess my wife uses a multi- tool while I’m at work, I hear the same noise when I call her 🤷🏼♂️
😎⚒️😎⚒️😎
Cheers Ted 🍻🍻
what is with that HUGE gap lol
Nice rundown. I agree with everything. Still waiting for you to be funny. I did not laugh once
so wait a minute, scrape out the old shit and put down some new shit? yeah that should take about 4 1/2 minutes to explain.
Any real tradesman knows to use a heat gun and it will peel straight out. Properly why you didnt know that you pretender
Get outta here with your heat gun! The multi tool is way faster.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter and its more fun 😄
@@TheFunnyCarpenter I think that a heat gun may be better for exterior garage door trim where the aluminum trim coil meets the brick/block.
@@MaMa-qh4dy the heat gun is better for every circumstance. And there is zero chance of damaging a clients wall, door, tiles etc with a knife or multi tool. The funny carpenter is a pretend chippy and doesn’t know the basics
I didn’t know about using a heat gun. I figured that would turn QUAD sealant into a big gooey mess. I had been using a multi-tool, but it is pretty easy to damage the wood with it. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Having the same multi-tool, that’s the blade I keep forgetting to buy. Thanks for the reminder. I’m at Home Depot at least twice a week too. Haha! My favorite blade tho’ when cutting drywall to fix large holes is Milwaukee’s 5-in-1, Model 49-25-2281. It’s curved at the top for plunging, has side shavers and a small jab saw on the side. 😎👍🏼🦾
