What kind of external caulk/sealent is this?
<< < (2/2)
ChadTower:

That would be really odd.  The HD here carries several varieties of it. 

I am in the process of redoing the white silicone caulk around all of my windows on the inside.  Just stripping and recaulking the picture window alone made a huge difference in my living room.  I'd say it was last done when the windows were installed ten years ago.

The stuff I hate is the nonpaintable bathroom caulk.  It doesn't smooth out with a finger like the paintable stuff does... I can never get the tub/sink done without it looking all chunky.

It's a smaller home depot, I forget what store the original building was built for.  They don't have a lot of things, but it's really convenient.  They do have the external silicone caulk in white, just not the translucent.  BTW, I did a search on HD and Lowes site for it and they didn't appear to have it online either.


I've done all the bathrooms and when I repainted the house I redid all the windows, trim, etc with it.  My problem isn't with the chunkiness but sometimes I smooth it a bit wide and have to clean it up.  Usually only happens when I'm at the end.  As for price, I had no problems spending the extra cash on it now to prevent having to redo in a few years.  I also replaced any outside trim that may rot or was rotted with the nylon?? trim.  That stuff is great.
ChadTower:

Eh, the extra cash is only a couple of bucks... but that lifetime guarantee they give?  ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.  I've never seen it last more than 5-6 years even inside.  It eventually shrinks and starts to separate from the surfaces.

Both of their websites suck when it comes to trying to find some products.  I know that some of it is determined by your zip code so that they only show products available in your area, but it's still pathetic compared to most major retailer's websites.  I think its simply not a priority for them.
ChadTower:

Many retail stores barely break even with their website if they do at all.  It's a loss leader to get you to shop there and hopefully go into the store/keep loyalty.  Even the big B/M stores don't make all that much off their web stores.
