A caulk smoothing device is provided for wetting and smoothing caulk after application. The caulk smoothing device comprises a body, an inlet port, and an outlet port. The body has an outer surface with a first portion having a tapered end suitable for contacting and smoothing caulk. The tapered end may include a smoothing tip designed to match the surface to which the caulk is applied. The body defines a chamber configured to be a reservoir to hold fluid. An inlet port is defined by the body which allows fluid to be introduced into the reservoir. The body further defines an outlet port in fluid flow communication between the reservoir and the first portion of the outer surface of the body.

A spreading tool allows width and depth variation of the spreading blade. A plate has first openings and second openings along with a first bottom edge. A blade has slots and is pressed against the plate so that the slots each align with a respective one first opening and a securement bolt is passed therethrough, the blade slid up or down against the plate so that the lower edge of the blade extends a desired distance below the bottom of the plate prior to bolt tightening. An extender has third openings and is pressed against the opposing surface of the plate so that its openings align with the second openings of the plate with securement bolts pass therethrough. A lower edge of the extender aligns with the bottom edge of the plate and extends beyond a side of the plate.
