DAP 18715 12 Pack 10.1 oz. Extreme Stretch Premium Crackproof Elastomeric Sealant, White

Great caulk for the price. I was a professional painter for several decades. This product performed as expected. Cleaned mildewed wood with pressure. Then used clorox/soap solution. Days later I sanded and primed the well prepared doors. Allowed several separate coats of primer to fully dry over a couple of days, then applied as much caulk as needed to fill cracks the carpenter could not. The caulk has held up on two crawl space doors, in very damp areas, for several years. If you use this caulk on bare wood instead of primed wood, it will not perform as well.

I didn't use it yet

I recently purchased a new house and at 59 caught the DIY bug, so I have been tackling projects around the house. With contractor costs so high, learning from YouTube and doing it myself is both rewarding and cost effective. This product worked exactly as expected, was reasonably priced, and became an essential part of my DIY process. Highly recommend.

“I am very happy with this purchase. It stays flexible and adheres perfectly. The product was as good as described and worked very well. I will purchase again.”

I have used lots of different sealants in my 40 year career.This is a light bodied, mostly thin dispensing, very smooth sealant.Know what you are doing, or make a big mess!Dries quickly. Can clean up with water, I used lacquer thinner for my hands and was cleaned up in a few minutes. Water and soap will take some time.

Sometimes you just don’t know how white is until you put the paint on the wall or this caulk next to the old one. So this cock is very bright white. If I had to lean into a tone of white, I would say blue white or cool white. So if you have walls that have a grayish bluish tone to them this will probably work out well. But if you have warm colored walls or backsplash, this might stand out.On application.The product is not as forgiving as plain latex caulk, but much better than silicone caulk. It doesn’t try too quickly, but you do have to stick with that section you’re working on or you’re gonna need more water to remove the excess. You can probably do an entire medium size bathroom with one tube. There will be a lot of waste unless you know how to trim the tip properly. Otherwise, if you’re just cutting it at a 45° angle and going to town, make sure you have the four sided caulking tool and a very large wet sponge ( 2 of them). You know, those big hourglass shaped looking ones. Probably about 8“ x 2 inches thick. Looks just like this sponge 🧽👈🏻1. Apply caulk2. Remove excess with caulk edge tool and wipe onto wet #1 sponge 🧽. Repeat this until you get your line pretty smooth. Keep the tool clean and wet with each pass.3. Take wet (not dripping wet) sponge #2 and wipe over caulk with low/medium pressure to remove last bit of excess. Rotate sponge to clean side with each pass.4. Rinse off sponges and edge tool and move to next section.This will create clean thin caulk line AND clean the surfaces around the caulk every time!I can’t stress how great this method works if you have the sponges 🧽 and edge tool. You don’t need to do any taping or special caulk tip cuts. Just lay down the caulk as you usually would, press it in with the tool as you remove the excess. The wet sponge will do the rest. Full proof!

Same as the box/hardware store

Works great and matches color to repair various areas on a camper. Flex keeps areas sealed.
