  • Patent number: 7198822
    Abstract: A method of applying a silicone caulking compound. A first step involves applying a bead of silicone caulking compound to a seam or surface. A second step involves spraying a surfactant on the bead of silicone caulking compound. A third step involves wiping excess silicone caulking compound from the surface. The surfactant applied to the surface “lubricates” the surface to prevent adhesion of the silicone caulking compound to the surface when excess material is wiped away, thereby preventing smearing.
