Caulking tool

A caulking tool comprising;

• a caulk spreader comprising a pliable spreader surface configured to spread caulk smoothly between a first wall surface and a second wall surface to which the caulk is adhered;
• a frusta-conic finger tube fixed to the caulk spreader;
• the finger tube having an inner surface configured to frictionally engage the outer surface of a user's finger;
• the inner surface of the finger tube tapered from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end smaller in inner circumference than the first end;
• the spreader surface having a longitudinal first end adjacent the first end of the finger tube and a second longitudinal end adjacent the second longitudinal end of the finger tube;
• wherein the spreader surface comprises a planar first wing and planar second wing extending bilaterally at opposing angles from a center ridge;
• wherein each of the first wing and the second wing comprise one or more stiffeners laterally offset from the finger tube and extending parallel to the center ridge from the spreader surface and configured to reduce longitudinal bending of the spreader surface;
• wherein the stiffeners are longitudinally offset from the second end of the spreader surface;
• wherein the stiffeners vary in thickness from the spreader surface from a first thickness near the second longitudinal end of the spreader surface to a second thickness near the first longitudinal end of the spreader surface and the second thickness is greater than the first thickness;
• wherein the first thickness is substantially zero
• wherein the spreader surface comprises a longitudinally recessed caulk notch at an edge of the second longitudinal end.
