Abstract: A composition for creating a perfect bead of caulk by spraying the substance on a caulk line of any type of caulk and smoothing the line with an implement. The compound provides for the release of caulking agents thereby reducing the coefficient of friction at the surface of the caulk in order to allow the use of a finger or tool to create a symmetric and aesthetically pleasing bead of caulk. The invention is non-hazardous, does not stain or leave a residue on the caulk line or surrounding surfaces, can be painted, can be used with any type of caulk. The release agent comprises a co-solvent, a carrier, a surfactant, a polymer, a defoamer, a coupling agent, and a corrosion inhibitor to optimize the composition for the ideal spraying application.

Abstract: A drain auger guiding tool comprises an elongated rigid body having at its front a reaction surface facing to one side of the body. A medial portion of an auger is engaged against that surface while a more rearward portion of the auger extends along the body at said side of it, and a more forward portion is flexed around the front end of the body, toward its other side, by an auger flexing hook swingable about an axis near the front of the body. For swinging the hook, a tension rod extends along said other side of the body and has an actuator at its rear end and a supple eccentric connection with the hook at its front end.
