                  Great
                  Great product for the price point. Easy to apply and clean up. Takes paint well and does not shrink. Apply correctly and make sure to fill the voids completely.

                    Will not recommend this caulk
                    I used this product to seal a very small gap around my newly installed air conditioner from inside my house and within 3 days it cracked Allaround the unit on 2 air conditioners. Now I have to remove this and apply a better quality caulk dap caulk used to be better in the past but your company most likely cut corners to save money, making this product inferior for a simple sealing task I will not buy dap products anymore as There are Better quality products out there

                      Just got done installing and caulking baseboards in bedroom. This caulk was easy to apply and smoothed out well with a wet finger. Blended well with the painted off white baseboards. Dried quickly and looks great. On to the next room.

                        Horrible stuff
                        Do not buy this product. I put it around my sink and even though it did dry clear, when it gets wet it is white again. When it goes white, it softness and separates. This has been in my sink for a few months now but I just couldn't take haw disgusting it gets and pulled it out. Note: The dry time states 7-14 days cure time. How can a product for things such as a window require 14 days dry time. Rain, dampness, humidity, need I say more. I had to give it 1 star but deserves none.

                          Within days this product shrinked and cracked terribly. I'm going to have to spend hours repairing and repainting.

                            If you're using this in a dry environment it works great. If however, you're using it where it's going to be damp after you applied it, don]t use this product. I used it to seal the rotted basement door jamb I had removed and installed a composite lower jamb kit and the brick moulding on a basement door that is beneath my deck. It rained about 6 hours after I completed the job. I had the deck above the door covered with a tarp to keep the rain at bay. This product literally ran out of the joints where the jamb kit meets the good part of the jamb and where the jamb kit meets the aluminum threshold. The seal on the brick moulding was fine until you got down the the lower last foot. Again this product was like clam chowder running out of where I had applied it. I did re-apply it and the weather cooperated and it seems fine and it's all painted. It does say paint-able in 30 minutes so I assumed it would work. In Nevada it would have worked fine.

                            Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP ALEX PLUS. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "Do not apply if rain or freezing temperatures are forecasted before full cure can occur. Cold weather and high humidity will slow down cure time." Additionally, DAP Alex Plus is designed, tested, and recommended for general purpose sealing applications, such as trim and molding. The application as described will likely present moisture challenges that would require the use of a more specialized product, such as DAP Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive Sealant. 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 regarding your experience and to arrange to provide you with a more appropriate product for this project.

                            What a disaster
                            I decided to take on the project of replacing my basement exterior door's rotted lower jambs using a replacement composite frame saver kit. I used this product to seal the replacement lower jambs to the existing jambs and the aluminum threshold. Paintable in 30 minutes? I could not finish the exterior part of the job because it was to dark and would get back to it in the morning. Well it rained about 6 hours later and the clear caulk not only is still white but it's very soft and running out of the areas I applied it to, and I smoothed out and the ares I applied it to. Now I'm no expert but it does say for interior / exterior use. If it's paintable in 30 minutes doesn't that infer it's dry or dry enough to paint? Maybe I used the wrong product or this product was defective. I just won't use this product again. Now I have a mess on my hands. The jamb replacements are done, the interior trim back on, and I won't be taking it all back apart to re caulk the job. When the rain stops and I get the new brick moulding mounted, I won't use the remainder of this product to seal it. I will find a better product that does what it says it does. They say cardboard makes a great enclosure until it gets wet.

                            Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Alex Plus Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone. As is the case with all acrylic-latex (water-based) formulas, they dry solely by the evaporation of water. Accordingly, environmental conditions and application amounts will dictate dry times. Thick (deep) applications, applications subject to lower temperatures/higher humidity, damp/wet application surfaces and/or application areas with poor air circulation will dry at significantly slower rates. Thin applications, applications subject to higher temperatures/lower humidity, dry/absorbent application surfaces and/or application areas with high air circulation will dry at significantly faster rates. When more challenging applications are present or faster through cure times are required, DAP would recommend that you consider our line of fast cure sealants, such as DAP AMP Window, Door, Trim & Siding High Performance Sealant. DAP AMP Window, Door, Trim & Siding High Performance Sealant will be surface dry and ready for paint in approximately 30 minutes and through cured in 24 hours, even in cooler and/or more humid application conditions. Of note, DAP AMP Window, Door, Trim & Siding High Performance Sealant and similar fast cure sealants require solvent (mineral spirits/paint thinner) for clean-up. Should you have any additional questions or require assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                              Got it as part of promotion, It had perfect smooth finish. I tried without any attachments too, found it so smooth even and easy to use. Instructions were clear too.. waiting for it to dry to see if it cracks or not?
