I used Nononsense exterior frame sealant on a window frame and smoothed off using finger and water method (just water, no soap added) and it did look neat. But a month on and it's attracted dust and grit particles, and on closer inspection the sealant has remained soft and tacky. I applied a test run to a piece of wood (using no water) and it cured nicely, drying with a smooth hard skin. So it would appear that using water adversely affects the sealants curing properties. Or does adding soap make a difference?
This stuff is no good in cold weather because it doesn’t set. It’s a water based caulk and not a silicon

Funny thing , I was just reading on another site, soap is needed as water only prolongs curing
How long does it take to set
Is it a dust and dirt magnet? I used the No Nonsense exterior caulk and it was filthy within the week!
Hey man, I checked it today, 4 days later, and after wind and rain, still looks good 👍
@@JBTV nice one, I'll give it a whirl!
👍 Let me know how you get on
The cheap sealants tend to be full of filler materials that promote mould and catch dirt
spray bottle with fairly liquid
What is the name of that equipment please
No Nonsense exterior frame sealant from screwfix
Caulk or silicon gun
Great!
Where do these people come from? It’s not the window industry.
