This week on the Handy Ma'am Hotline, Mercury talks all about caulk. You know, the silicone kind. That goes on your bathroom fixtures and tubs! Get your mind out of the gutter, haha!

Learn how to remove caulking, apply it so it will actually stay on and look professional, and troubleshoot when your caulking cracks or gaps. You'll also learn about tips and tricks for hiring a contractor, as well as troubleshooting the leak coming from your shower arm when replacing the showerhead in your bathroom.
