Default Re-caulking C36 windows?

Hi,

I need to re-caulk all the windows on Far Cove (1983 Catalina 36). The
windows are glass, surrounded by aluminum frame. How do I do this? Is it
relatively easy?

Lloyd, if it were me, and I was simply re-caulking, as opposed to
glazing, then I'd get a decent silicone caulk, simply caulk with a
gun, then to remove the excess, a wet finger. It tools the caulk in
nicely, filling any voids and making it nice and smooth. simply wet
your finger in soapy water, smooth the caulk, clean finger, repeat.

Silicone makes good gaskets but is a lousy caulk.
