SideQuest 13: Q&A | Prying Off Paneling, Swollen Shed Doors, & Tub Caulk Talk

March 10, 2026·13 min·1 clip

Emi corrects a listener's assumption: 'You should not use caulk' around a tub faucet—you need 100% silicone for a waterproof seal.

In this short 'SideQuest' episode, hosts Emi and Arlie answer three listener-submitted home improvement questions with a mix of practical advice and improvised comedy. They tackle removing wall paneling (warning of potential horrors behind it), fixing a swollen shed door (the solution: cut it, don't just sand), and correctly sealing a tub faucet (use silicone, not caulk).
