Here is a trick for you rookie caulkers. Apply the bead size you want then spray the surface with glass cleaner and use your finger to tool off. This will leave you a perfect caulk joint. NO lip from a taped edge.

Straight "Silicone" is the worse thing a person can use. Laytex adhesive caulk is good and easily caulked. Whatever you use needs to be "adhesive". LEXEL is a horrible sealant to use. be sure to get a FRESH tube and place in in hot water to heat up before use and then it's more user friendly.
