Our shop has been using the color-matched caulk for several years, on cabinet installs. Several tips... After mixing, it needs to set 30 minutes before using. Cost is $12 you mix, and our paint store will mix for $20,takes at least 2 minutes to properly shake. Remove cap and gently tap on the bottom, this causes the plunger to retract.. Giving more sloshing room while mixing. For out of level ceilings/walls, it is thin and won't cover large cracks. We use a fast dry caulk to pre-fill cracks over 1/16 first. Without prefilling, it tends to suck to itself while drying and will need a second coat. It's slow drying, so if any dust will be raised.. its best to give it several hours to cure. Textured caulk doesn't look very nice.
I sold Sashco products for years, it was a hard sell at first because of the slightly higher price but once you got the product in their hands they were sold. A great product with great results.
Once I used Lexel, I was sold. It is so superior to silicone. The masses are under the impression that silicone can be used for sealing anything and everything, when in fact, there are few applications where it is a suitable sealant. I've never used Big Stretch. Thanks for the video
We find that using light color dish soap in a spray bottle works amazing on getting perfect caulking joints without having the mess on your hands 🙌🏼 or getting your caulking gun dirty.
seen so many reviews of that caulk that you can add paint to. it’s absolute garbage. no one likes it. colours don’t match, cracks everywhere, and even yellows.
i love this stuff. Not talked about enough.

I'm here for this level of nerdy detail. Love this stuff.

Frank, we're humbled, thank you! Watch our social channels, we love to feature comments like this :)
Sashco is my first choice for all caulking whether it’s my logs or bathrooms or trim
Thanks for the kind words, we love comments like this and share them on our social media frequently!
One of the few occasions where the sales-person is actually knowledgeable, does not use fluffy words, and is not pushy.

Great point about the “good better best”.
Thank you for the details as with so many options, I often wonder what's the difference.

Hi
👏👏👏👏👏fantástico
If you won't dip your fingers in mineral spirits, why would you dip them in an even worse mixture of ethers/alcohols/ammonia in a glass cleaner...

It's tough listening to people who use "Right?" at the end of most sentences.

Hi Trevor, have you had a chance to try exact color? We'd love to send you a sample to try and let us know how it goes!
I was first exposed to Lexel and Big Stretch by @PerkinsBuilderBrothers
