Abstract: A support for a cylindrically-shaped accessory has a first frame defining a receptacle for a cylindrically-shaped accessory and a connecting assembly. The first frame has a bottom wall and a peripheral bracing wall structure. The bottom wall defines an upwardly facing surface. The peripheral bracing wall structure extends at least partially around a region occupied by a cylindrically-shaped accessory in the upright stored orientation, bearing on the upwardly-facing surface, to thereby limit tipping of the cylindrically-shaped accessory. The connecting assembly has first and second connector parts attachable one each to the first frame and second frame upon which the support can be placed. The first and second connector parts are engagable, each with the other, by relatively translating the first and second connector parts along a connecting line.

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.
