PaintAccess' The Caulking Finger

Is that an artificial finger used for spreading and smoothing caulk? Yep! Traditionally, caulk was applied using a caulking gun (that holds those specially shaped tubes of caulk with the pointy plastic end) and then smoothed out with a wet finger. Experienced tradies sometimes apply and then smooth caulk with one motion; a finger trailing behind the caulking gun as caulk is applied.

But for DIY renovators and those tradies who need to move between jobs, that can be a messy choice. And for those in higher-risk work environments, this method requires the removal of safety gloves, which might not be a safe option. Add to that the risk of injury involved in running your unprotected finger along timber, glass or tiles… there had to be a better way!

Luckily, the folks at iQuip, Uni-Pro and Soudal (FWMM Products) have come together to create The Caulking Finger! The Caulking Finger was developed by a painter with 28 years of experience, who was tired of wearing out all his fingers caulking all day. Convinced that nothing would work as a finger, but keen to give his finger a rest, he created The Caulking Finger with the tagline, “Why wear out your finger? Just use mine!” Now you can have that same professional smooth finish and save your finger.
