You need a caulking gun and some paintable caulking. Get a good brand of both. Cheap caulking guns won't cut off the flow of caulk from the nozzle so it will drip everywhere. Cheap caulking is hard to smooth nicely and might be lumpy or gritty. Cut the end of the nozzle just a little bit at a 45 degree angle, and either use the little wire poker on the caulking gun (if there is one) or a straightened out hook from a wire coat hanger to pierce the seal inside. | You need a caulking gun and some paintable caulking.
