Caulking Sucks!

Soo, I caulked around the ductwork from my central heat/air unit this morning. The old caulking between the flashing and the brick was peeling away, so I thought, hey! I can do this. And I can. But that damn caulking shit is the absolute devil to get off your skin. Not only does it stick, it's also sticky. Everything you touch becomes attached to you by little threadlike strings similar to gum or spiderwebs. It doesn't wash off. Household cleaners don't take it off. Automotive hand cleaner doesn't take it off. I had so much on my fingers that I didn't dare try to drive to the store to get turpentine or something-- I was afraid to touch anything! The caulking I used for the bathroom showers washed off fairly easily with automotive hand cleaner, but apparently since the caulk I used today is for masonry and metal it is more stubborn.
Finally reasoned that if peanut butter takes gum off your shoes or out of your hair, maybe it would work on caulk. It did help. A nasty combo of peanut butter and tile cleaner finally got the worst of the mess off my hands. Although it's probably going to take a few days for my skin to recover! And now I smell like Jif peanut butter.
I am NEVER caulking again. Ever. I will pay someone to do it next time!
