counter using old bicycle tires. This project needs to be finished by<br>
using silicon caulk to fill in the gap between the tire and the<br>
counter, which will seal it and make cleanup easier.<br>
<br>
I will try to get to it, but if anyone wants to have a go, there are<br>
two packs of black silicone caulk, a caulking gun and some alcohol for<br>
preparing the surface on the plastic table next to the kitchen. Need<br>
some masking tape as well to mark out the edge of the bead.<br>
<br>
Basically you want to:<br>
<br>
1) clean the tire and counter where the caulk will go with the alcohol<br>
2) lay out a line of masking tape parallel to the edge of the counter,<br>
about 1/8 to 1/4 inche away.<br>
3) lay down a bead of silicone caulk following the bike tire and the tape<br>
4) peel up the tape<br>
5) smooth the silicone - a plastic spoon or a finger dipped in soapy<br>
water should work<br>
