Unhand my caulk...

Last night at around 11:30 I was cleaning out the pantry when I ran across an aging but unopened tube of caulk. Instructions clearly state it has a shelf life of one year or so (this was purchased a good 3 years ago) but I was feeling lucky so....

I trimmed all the aging caulk from my counter top, the one with the sink, painstakingly scraping and wiping until not a speck of the offending mildewed sealant remained. I sliced open the end of this geriatric cylinder and began to lay down a quarter inch bead of pure white which promptly separates into tiny beads making one UGLY line.

Long story short, avoid old caulk. Pictures to follow.
