How can I caulk areas of rim joists that are not reachable
Hello, I am cauking my basement rim joists so that it is sealed before adding insulation. I was able to caulk the top and the sides of the rim joists but with a caulk gun I am unable to properly caulk the bottom section because the caulking gun is not allowing me to get the proper angle do to the space I have to work with. Anyone have any workarounds for this type of situation? Thanks!

You can shove a piece of flexible tubing over the tapered caulk nozzle. I like the clear PVC tubing you can get at most home centers. Or, put a blob of caulk on your finger and reach in and spread it the messy way.
