Answer This Question
A: Thank you for posting your inquiry. The application of ceramic tile adhesive ("mastic") over caulks, sealants, adhesives and/or their residue it not recommended, as there would be no way to guarantee performance/compatibility. For this reason, most manufacturers recommend application to "clean, dry, structurally sound surfaces, free from all foreign materials". Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

A: No the caulk will have to be removed, you cannot tile over it.

A: I think this might be too late but for future use...This is labeled wrong. It's not silicone, it's a polymer.
I use small hand held tubes of 100% pure silicone like GE -57 on drains. Same stuff you would use on an aquarium.
by|May 3, 2021
A: Yes, it will work fine for that application
by|Dec 17, 2020
A: Thank you for posting your inquiry. As a general rule caulks/sealant/adhesives are not recommended as a replacement/alternative to plumber's putty, as these products will likely form a permanent bond, that may limit or prevent future access for maintenance work.

Take this junk off the market
As so many others have mentioned: can’t get it out the tube. I bought the most expensive thinking it was the best. Two tubes and both were dried up in the tube. I put so much pressure on the caulking gun that it bent the plunger on my caulking gun and nothing came out the tube. Wasted time and money, and pushed my project back by a whole day. Please do not reply with your generic, insincere, copy/paste “We are sorry” response. For the sake of your brand name, pull this junk off the market.

Thank you for posting your feedback. Based on your description of the difficulty encountered while attempting to apply the product, it would appear that you may have purchased material that is beyond shelf life and/or the inner foil seal was not properly punctured prior to your application attempt. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you. When calling in, please be sure to have the package (cartridge) available, as we will need to verify the production code in order to determine the date of manufacture and so that we can reach out to the store where it was purchased, as DAP does not have direct control of stock rotation/inventory management at the retail store level.

Product turns yellow if you don't paint
I bought the most expensive caulk to not deal with quality issues but this caulk turned yellow on every baseboard that it was used with. I used two dap products and both are trash.
Caulk was never cleaned, wiped and the only thing it was exposed to was dust which is visible, water on smooth rag which was used to smooth the caulk during application and home air.
The GE product is far superior. IF you intend to use this, paint over it.

Thank you for posting your feedback about DAP 3.0 Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing High Performance Sealant. We are sorry to hear about your experience with this product. The most common cause of "yellowing" is exposure to oxidizers (bleach/bleach like cleaners), natural oils/petroleum oils and solvents (as well as their vapors). At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you and arrange to obtain a sample of your remaining product for evaluation.

Gloss yellow
I used this because it was recommended in the instructions for the tub surround I bought. Normally I love DAP products (DAP 230 is great). I was expecting this to be a bit challenging to work with, but it wasn't so bad. Just have some mineral spirits handy for any issues. The problem is that, after a few months, the white had definitely yellowed quite a bit.
Now, you'll see where others have complained, and DAP reps say it doesn't unless "it's exposed to some sort of chemical that reacts with it". So here's the thing. I am a very lazy husband. So it took me MONTHS to finish the bathroom. Thus it was not used, certainly not as a bathroom. There were no chemicals. Barely even light. It was like a nearly-perfect science experiment. And it yellowed.
I'll attach a picture where I went to finish filling in the gaps and screw troughs. It's kind of obvious what's new and what's a few months old with no use or wear (hint: the top and bottom of the corner bead). And it's kind of obvious that nobody in their right mind would have used the tub in that shape. And it wasn't plumbed, anyway. All the tubes were bought from the same box.
The stuff was nice and pliable, stuck well, and no signs of lack of power as an adhesive agent. But I wouldn't use it where it's going to be seen. I'll stick to DAP 230 for that. And in fact I went over any visible DAP 3.0 with DAP 230.

Turned yellow after 6 months
I used DAP 3.0 Kitchen & Bath (crystal clear) to caulk the edges of my kitchen counter about four months ago. I just noticed it started to turn yellow. Unfortunately I'm going to have to remove this and use a better product.

This is the first caulk that adheres to my bathtub and surround. I have used many products prior to this one. They would either crack, peel, or just get moldy and fail quickly (Generally within a month) This one has held super well so far, and has been on my tub for two months now with still looking like new, and still sealing tight to both surfaces with no cracks.
Beware however... This is SUPER tacky, super adherent, and super tough. I got this on my hands, and it took quite awhile to all come off. To me, this was actually a good thing. It meant it would hold to my tub. I read others complain about the difficult to remove/clean. That is true. So be careful with it. maybe also tape off the areas so it doesn't spread too much, and do it nicely. I bought the kit to make it look nice. Clean any stray parts up as quickly as possible.
