How to apply caulking to the inside of your windows:

Step one : Wipe all the dirt ,spider webs,and gunk off of the inside of the windows . This helps the caulking to make a tight seal



Step two: Put caulking tube into caulking gun ,cut the tip of the tube at a 45 degree angle ,then take a long screwdriver and puncture the seal in the caulking tube. 

Step three : Hold the gun at an angle and start at the end of the window ,squeeze trigger gently and slowly pull the line toward the center of the window . Repeat this same step on the oppisite side of the window to meet the line in the center.

Step four: Smooth caulking line with your finger being careful not to remove it ,just smooth it down and let it dry ,repeat steps 3 and 4 on all sides of the window. Most caulking will dry clear
