Perhaps it is just me, but no matter how careful I try to be, any attempt to apply caulk or cement or anything with a caulking gun into a crack results in total mess.
The main problems that seem to be causing this are:
1: The caulk doesn't "stick down" so as I pull the gun over the crack it drags the tendril of caulk along with it.
2: As demonstrated on every home improvement show, I run my finger along the caulk line to press it down into the crack, but it inevitably squishes out on the tile or sticks to my finger and makes a big mess.
Is there some trick that I just don't know that makes a good clean caulk line?

I've found that if you push the tip of the caulk gun forward along the line rather than drag it behind you can often make a very neat bead of caulk that needs little or no smoothing afterwards.
