Q:Is it Sandable?
by|May 17, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP ALEX FLEX is not sandable (as is the case for all of DAP's flexible caulking/sealants), tooling/shaping/smoothing must be done while the product is still in its wet form. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Thank you for posting your feedback. DAP ALEX FLEX is designed, marketed, tested, labeled, and recommended for use as a general-purpose trim/molding sealant. It is not designed, tested, marketed, labeled, or recommended for use as a primary construction adhesive. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance or would like a recommendation for an appropriate construction adhesive, please feel free contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

      Q:Can this be sealed and reused at a later time after opening?
      by|Feb 19, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. For resealing the nozzle after use, DAP offers a reusable DAP CAP (sold separately). As a work-around, a small piece of plastic wrap or food grade plastic bag can be secured onto the tip with a rubber band (be sure to squeeze any excess air out before making the seal with the rubber band). Should you have additional questions or require additional guidance, please feel free to contact DAP Technical Customer Service at 888-327-8477.

        Q:How many tubes will I need for 60 feet of crown molding?
        by|Jan 20, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. Coverage calculations are based on the applied "bead size". Without your joint size/bead size dimensions, we are not able to provide you with a coverage estimate (specific to your project). Per product packaging and supporting literature:"10.1 fl oz: 55 linear feet at a 3/16"diameter bead. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

          Caulding Discolored
          I installed PVC Trim on my home & caulked the joint. The caulking turned black after installation.

          Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP ALEX FLEX. We are not able to positively identify the nature of the discoloration based on the photographs/information that you have provided. The most common causes for discoloration are dirt pick-up prior to curing and/or biological contamination. Of note, it appears that there are also other areas/materials where similar discoloration is evident (vinyl/plastic weather stripping/trim), which would suggest that the discoloration is primarily biological in nature. Because you did not provide any background regarding your project, application technique or application conditions, we are not able to provide a proper response in this format. Should you wish to provide this information, so we can address your concerns, please feel free to contact DAP's Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

              don't paint over it
              We used this caulk to seal a chair rail trim but when we painted over it, the white caulk resists the paint, the white of the caulk keeps coming throughj

              Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP ALEX FLEX. Based on your commentary and the attached photograph, the issue that you are describing would appear to be related to the presence of a bond-breaker (silicone sealant and/or its residue), not the paintability of ALEX FLEX. Because you did not provide enough details about your application, it is difficult to provide a more detailed response or specific corrective guidance in this format. 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.

                    This is the best caulk I had and I’ve had lots of different caulks in my day. Thick, strong, and lasts a long time.
