Silicone Max 10.1 oz. White Premium Kitchen and Bath Silicone Sealant

A:  Thank you for posting your feedback. DAP Silicone Max is a 100% silicone formula. Acetoxy silicones can generate a strong vinegar-like odor while curing. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "Acetic acid is evolved during cure. Avoid breathing vapors. Use only with adequate ventilation. Ensure fresh air entry during application & drying." .A full cure for this product is 24 hours, we would expect for it to still be uncured after 1 hour. Based on your feedback, you may wish to consider a lower odor, an easier to use acrylic latex (soap and water clean-up formula), such as DAP KWIK SEAL ULTRA. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Silicone Max Kitchen & Bath.

A:  I don't know about concrete countertop. I used it to reseal areas in my tub. It has lasted for a year now and going strong.

A:  Hi - I looked up the technical data sheet and it says it will bond to "above ground foundations" and cement board, among other things, so I think it should be fine bonding to concrete as long as it doesn't stay wet all the time.  Here is  the entire list - Wood – painted & unpainted, Glass, Ceramic, Porcelain, Vinyl, Most plastics (PVC, ABS), Aluminum, Vents, Pipes, Corner joints, Above ground foundations, Most metals, Drywall, Plaster, Composite materials, Fiber cement board, Fiberglass, Most common building materials

A:  I don’t know if it will or not, I would call the customer help phone number on the container and ask them.

A:  Right after you lay down the caulk. Remove while it’s still wet. 

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. When using painter’s masking tape, the tape must be removed immediately after tooling and before the applied caulk skins over. If you wait until after the caulk has skinned over/dried to remove the tape, you may end up pulling up the caulk with it (as the tape typically becomes embedded under the applied sealant). Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

A:  I don't think so. Its sticky but it is not use for that purpose.
