Not sure if you've heard of this one before but caulking is dead simple. Put painters tape on either side of what you are caulking leaving enough room on either side for the caulking to "Fan out". This way you can apply the caulking liberally (you don't actually want to do that but you can get away with it using this method) and once you have run your finger along it to smooth it out, immediately remove the tape. Voila! You have perfectly formed caulking lines.



Go to 1:30 of this vid.

Everfresh...to answer you question, there is caulking labeled specifically for windows and doors.
