DAP Materials & Tools for Caulking Projects

Good viscosity, great adherence.

I have an external door that sits on a Brick floor under the threshold. Every so often when the wind blows from the right direction i forces water underneath the threshold. I have tried sealing the bottom in the past but it always wants to separate while curing and leaves small lifted edges and eventually peels off. This product said it could be applied to gaps as wide as 3 inches, would adhere to concrete/brick and well as metal and plastic, was crackproof and weatherproof so I gave it a try. T...

Best All Around DAP Yet

The Dap ALEX STRETCH High Performance Acrylic Urethane Elastomeric Sealant is exactly what I needed to paint my home. I have some stucco cracks to take care of along with a few wood gaps to fill. Although I typically use the DAP Dynaflex 230, this crackproof DAP product is paintable in 2 hours & stretches over 600%, so I thought I would give it a try. After some cleaning prep work I found the product easy to use in a drip-proof caulking gun and the 10.1 fl oz cartridge went a long way covering m...

The stretch and gap filling are great!!

I have used DAP caulk for decades and they are always my go to but I have never tried the stretch before. I am testing it in a shower since it will be exposed to everything for this test. The ability to stretch should be a big advantage in an area that gets wet and dries frequently. It comes out of the tube very smooth and predictable. This makes an easy installation and using a proper tool for smoothing was a dream. I am impressed how easy to was to lay in place, smooth to a perfect bead and ea...

Looks to be good stuff

I was looking forward to using this on projects like installing crown molding or baseboard, because the walls aren't usually flat enough to make it look nice without caulk. Plus, ceilings seem to move more, and the cheaper painters caulk never seems to stretch enough. Unfortunately, I didn't have any of those projects going on, so I used this caulk to hide some of the gaps in a door between the glass insert and the frame. I am hoping that because of the stretch properties of this caulk, it wi...

Used on outdoor siding gaps

I received this product with a number of others in a shipment that sat outside in the heat for about two weeks. After sifting through the tubes, I was lucky enough to find one that had been insulated by the others and was still liquid enough to use. I use this to caulk between siding on my 1950s home, as you can see, the gaps were quite large and I had filed the gaps two years before and the caulk failed. With the stretching capabilities of this product, I’m hoping that this will not shrink like...

Great stretchy sealant for wide gaps

Wow, this sealant is very durable and stretchy. I used it on some trim that needed some waterproofing. It was over 2-in gap, which most sealants couldn't handle but this one did it with ease. It was very easy to apply, just point and shoot with a caulking gun. It comes of smoothly and doesn't make a mess. So far it had been holding up great and no break or gaps after drying. I was planning on painting it but the white color it comes in matched just fine. I expect it will last years to come. It's...

Perfect caulk for filling and it levels itself

This is a great caulking product. Because it is polyethylene it is perfect for a lot of projects. I used it to caulk above crown molding where my old house has an uneven ceiling and it was super at filling the space perfectly. I also used it outside on a patio door that had developed a whistle from the old cracked latex caulk. This worked great. It’s my new “go to” product! It levels itself, can be build up on in wider cracks and is so muck better than latex or silicone caulk.

good interior trim caulk

I'm remodeling my basement and have moved a door to the theater from one end of the room to the other. The hallway outside needed to have the baseboard trim redone as well as the trim around the door reinstalled. I used this caulk after replacing all of the trim. I like that it is paintable. Putting the caulk on is an art, but with a little practice I was able to get a good bead that didn't over apply and cause a lot of mess when wiping the excess off. I ended up with a nice looking fillet ...

Awesome stretchy caulking!

This is an awesome caulking product! Caulking is so essential to making a room look truly finished and this one works exactly how we need it to. It really stretches and fills gaps (look at my pictures of the before and after ceiling gapping). I love also that if anything shifts, the caulking can stretch up to 600%! incredible. I also appreciated that this product only takes 2 hours to dry, so it doesn't set us back when it comes to workflow. I will definitely be buying this product again!

Very versatile sealant

I like this sealant because its really versitile and can be used for alot of different applications. I basically just went around the house and found every area i could and filled it in. The color is a bright white so it pretty much matched everything i did. Was really easy to apply and was not really hard to wipe off my hands like some caulking. I like it and give it a thumbs up for these reasons
