Alex Painter's 10.1 oz. All-Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk (12-Pack)

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. There is no cap (for resealing) provided on any of DAP's larger cartridge sized packaging (caulks, sealants, adhesives). For resealing, 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.

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP ALEX Painter's Caulk (general purpose caulk) is designed for use where low to moderate joint movement is expected. For applications where higher joint movement is expected, we would recommend the use of softer/more flexible sealants such as DAP ALEX FLEX, DAP DYNAFLEX 230 or DAP EXTREME STRETCH. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

A:  INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO ME GO TO WHERE YOU BOUGHT THE TILE OR ANY FLOOR STORE ASK THEM THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER, JOE

A:  Hi NewbieDIY, I would strongly recommend that you consider not using this product and instead utilize DAP Dynaflex 230, sold right here at Home Depot. Baseboards and crown molding expand and contract when levels of humidity change in the home and thus you need a caulk that will also expand and contract to prevent cracking. The Dynaflex is an elastomeric caulk, which means it does just that. It is strong enough to be used outdoors and handles exposure to water and dirt very well. You can also checkout DAP Dynaflex Ultra as an option. Caulk is like paint. The more you pay, usually, the better the product and results will be. At less than 2 bucks, this painters caulk has always let me down, professionally. The Dynaflex line has always left a wonderful result. Good luck!

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. While DAP ALEX Painter's Caulk will bond to PVC/CPVC, these materials can exhibit movement in excess of the product flexibility performance. For this type of material, a more flexible product such as DAP DYNAFLEX 230 or DAP EXTREME STRETCH would typically be recommended. 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 about your project and to provide a recommendation for the most appropriate product.

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. Providing that the temperate in the application area does not exceed ~150F., the use of a general-purpose caulk/sealant such as ALEX Painter's would be appropriate. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

A:  This is some of the cheapest 'dollar store' caulk available. It frequently cracks, shrinks significantly, and does not tolerate movement of the materials during change of the seasons when humidity causes building materials to shrink/expand. Please do yourself a favor and upgrade to DAP's Dynaflex 230 elastomeric caulk/sealant. It will flex, accepts paint well, and is much more durable than this below entry level product. Home Depot sells the Dynaflex and it comes in multiple colors as well.

A:  Yes this would work fine for that
