ABSTRACT:
A first end of a hand held elongated flexible tool is used for uniformly compressing and contouring of a bead of caulk, grout, putty, or other fluent material. The opposite end of the tool is then used to remove excess fluent material from the sides of the contoured bead. In a preferred form, the contouring end of the tool contains at least one concavity extending longitudinally from an extremity of that end and partially along one side of the tool. A bead is contoured by one stroke or pass of the tool, and in one preferred embodiment the contouring end contains two such concavities on opposite sides. In the same embodiment, one concavity has a greater lateral dimension than the other for providing two choices of bead width. The opposite end of the tool is disposed for removal of excess fluent material, and has a concavity extending fully laterally across the extremity of that end. The later concavity is used to bridge the finished caulk bead, wherein a planar side adjacent the later concavity is utilized to wipe away excess material from the sides of the finished or contoured bead.
