They were coming form the east coast and was getting more and more difficult to get. The AU-1 is blended in the same way and does not yellow or crack, and also paintable.
Thank you for this great information, Shawn. My retrofit windows were installed about a year ago and a few of the windows on exterior where caulk was placed, caulk is sticky. After one year why would that be. It certainly attracts dirt. I’m wondering what can I do to resolve this.
Some sealants use plasticizer (an additive that makes the sealant flexible). Over time, they will always migrate out of the product to the surface which will result in visible shiny spots and create a sticky surface for dirt to stick to.
Hi, what type of caulk do you recommend at the basement rim-joist area that blends well with Great Stuff foam? Many building components come together: the foundation wall, the mudsill, the rim joist, and the subfloor-so it’s important to seal all those cracks against air leakage.
I used phenoseal vinyl caulk for all my exterior windows and around the inside of trim to the j channels I put in, now I’m wondering if that was the right thing to do, I painted everything and it’s held up a year now, but this has me thinking maybe I used the wrong stuff??
Excellent information! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

What happened to the Max Shield Caulking you were using before?

What are your thoughts on Lexel for windows?

Why do you use low quality consumer products?
Instead of industrial sealants that are far better.
Bostik Duo Sil is king!

I noted water enter inside home through window border. Which caulky do you recommend me? Live in a constant rainy place
You can use most caulk for temporary plus a rubber you can really use any type of caulk
PLEASE SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER TO YOUR MICROPHONE OR TURN THE VOLUME LEVEL A LITTLE HIGHER. ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS THANKS!
I checked the sound levels, all seems on point, not sure what happened. Thank you for watching though!
This reminds me of a young man at a home improvement store. I remembered he called for, “assistance to the caulk aisle.” For some reason he denied it.
😂 gotta love it!
Are you wearing mascara?
Is 100% silicone good to install retrofit windows? GE Supreme seems to be very flexible.
