After The Paint Thinner

Here's the finished edge. I used paint thinner on a terry cloth rag to get that edge. DO NOT soak the rag in the solvent! You do not want the solvent to eat into or soften the sealant through transfer of of the liquid from the rag to the surface.


WARNING: You want just enough solvent to keep the rag damp, to smooth the outer edge of the sealant, that's all.

Have you ever used water instead of solvent. An ol plumber taught this to me years ago, although he would spit on his fingers and edge the sealent.
