Abstract
A layer of compressed cellulose sponge is coterminously attached to a length of two-sided adhesive tape to form a caulking support strip. The support strip is used to provide a surface that bridges gaps between two surfaces that are to be caulked along their intersection, through which caulking would otherwise fall. In use, the tape's peel-off strip is removed and the support strip is pressed into position near the corner formed by the two surfaces to be caulked. The support strip is then moistened, causing the sponge layer to transform from its compressed to its expanded state and bridging the gap between the surfaces, providing a support surface which is firm enough to support a bead of caulking.
