DAP 801 Caulk, 10.1 oz, White

I discovered a leak in the wood framing around one of my windows during a week long rain storm. I used some caulk that I had from a couple of years ago to get it sealed right away. After looking at my other windows, I noticed gaps around several of them and decided I needed something really good and really quick as the rains were going to stay for a while. After doing some research on the internet, I decided that this was the one to go with. Amazon shipped immediately and the moment I received the caulking I went to work on the windows. I had to put in on wet surfaces and it adhered beautifully. My emergency caulking had washed out with the rain and I replaced it with the Dap. After about three days the rain let up and the sun came out. I did an inspection of the areas that I had caulked and the caulking was still neatly in place and had set up well. This was a couple of months ago. Since then, the weather has been very hot and dry and the caulking is holding up quite well. No shrinking or cracking. If it holds up through the contractions in the winter then I will know we have a winner here. So far it looks very promising and I'm glad I made the purchase. It was nice being able to fill the gaps in the rain and have the leaking immediately stop. I've had very good luck using other Dap products and so far this one looks to live up to the Dap name. I got lucky with the color, it is an almost identical match to the exterior color of my house so I don't had to paint over it.

OK, the review is easy. Been a Dap user for a few thousand years. Good, predictable product. But never had anyone ask me about "sheerness" before when I was caulking prior to painting. That kind of stopped me.After 14-hours of research, I assumed they were asking about could you see through it semi-transparent. But since this is supposed to be more or less solid, opaque, and all that, I'm still mystified by the question. Perhaps Amazon has implemented A.I. and the program hasn't painted a house yet? Buy 900 of these and turn your house in a 50-foot long fidget toy - and skip the painting.

This stuff is sticky. A little difficult to work with. I always get DAP but usually the clear one which is not as sticky and it’s been three days and it still feels sticky.

Most importantly, it arrived pliable allowing for easy application. The material dispensed easily and evenly. The color was a little lighter than anticipated, but still matched well.It's been on the exterior now for several months and is holding up without issue.

This review is actually for the white Sidewinder caulk. I am prepping the exterior of my house under high temperature, humidity & threat of rain conditions. Since people said they applied this while it was raining I began using this. It is thick & a little sticky. I like thick caulk because I can control it better. A good caulking gun is a MUST. The thicker caulks won't continue to leak with a good gun like Newborn drip free gator trigger. I threw out all my cheap caulking guns. Don't finger tool without licking your finger & wiping off the excess with every "swipe". Have lots of paper towels handy & wash your hands often as you go. I lay out about 3- 12" & then tool. Luckily I have managed to caulk & prime ahead of showers. Some days I couldn't do either due to extreme temp & humidity.

First of all, the wrong product was sent. I sent it back and received the correct item, only to find both tubes of caulk were dried up. Not sure how that happens if both are completely sealed, but they were. Completely useless and wasted two weeks of my time when what I need them for is time and weather sensitive. Waste, waste, waste.

exceptional product, easy to use (be sure to wear rubber gloves if you plane out / shape out by finger, is NOT water clean up) ....excellent paintability with proper latex primer over it .....lifelong flex ...highly durable

I've used this caulk for years, and it has never let me down. Being able to apply it when it's cold out is the main reason I like it. Has great adhesion and generally flows good.
