> 3 dayI read online that it takes 72 hours for this to dry. It was already drying as I was trying to finish application. Also, the color as it dries right now is off white. Maybe it will dry white. That doesn’t bother me so much but you might not like that difference. Anyway…one project done. I do highly recommend the taping technique to get even caulk line. Good luck with your DIY projects! Update: product long since dried and it is cream colored. My tile walls are cream colored so for me it’s acceptable.

> 3 dayI have this thing about bad caulking jobs so I try to make an extra effort with stuff I have to look at every day. I use the small(5.5 oz), size squeeze tube-its easier to use but get two tubes to be sure. Besides its handy stuff to have around. The directions say to remove all old caulk before using. This tends to be a pain. If there is mildew or staining at the edges in many cases scraping the old caulk does not remove the discoloration and the smaller and neater the caulking the more the stain will show. Covering the old caulk with an additional layer can cover more of the affected surface in this case. With careful surface prep in those cases this works best for me. Its a judgement call. Either way scrub the surface with soapy water and a scrub brush(pot brush is perfect if you have one). Let surface dry then go over with paint thinner, lighter fluid, or naptha spirits, etc.-sandpaper in a can type product is ideal. Cut the tip at 45 degree angle, start with a small hole and trim larger if needed. Take your time applying. When you are done check for missed spots with too little coverage. Take 5 or 10 minutes off, let it dry for a while-it will be much easier to trim up. Put a very generous shot of dish washing soap in a bowl,add water and with a wet rag well wrung out you are ready to trim. Redipping frequently run your finger lightly along the caulk, washing any buildup off your finger by dipping in bowl and rubbing against other fingers or that wet rag. Once you get a good buildup of soapy water on top of the caulk(dont get carried away-a few drops at a time)you can final smooth the corners and finish the job with long swipes down the straightaways. The soapy water supplies a low friction interface that combined with a light touch works a charm. Let dry overnight. Places with a heavier buildup may require as long as a week before curing. After drying I always notice a few spots where the coverage is too light. Touching up means reapplying small amounts,the damp rag and the bowl of soapy water but should go much quicker. Im perfectionist so usually need a final small third application a day later. After it dries there will be a scum of residue that a scouring pad and soapy water will take care of. Careful here,until it cures just scrub up to the edge of the caulking. Done.

> 3 dayUsed it to seal the bathtub, let it dry for a couple of days. Then as soon as it got water on it, it became bubbly, and pealed off. This is the worst silicone caulk ive used in my life.

21-11-2024There were some cracks in the kitchen that needed filling - this was perfect for the job. I only wish there was a cap for the tube after cutting off the end, since I still have a lot of unused caulk. I taped it closed so hopefully it wont dry out.

> 3 dayWorked well for a quick recaulking of my bathtub. I did use a caulk tool to scrape edges, but the caulk itself was easy to work with
