I used this product in three areas: where the wall tile met the window frame, shower and countertop. Perfect match to the grout color used.

I bought 6 tubes of this. None of the 6 ever cured (over a week). I am having to peal out and try to save the tub. The texture certainly does not match and the color doesn't either. Tried trimming after 24 hours, 48 hours and over a week. even when trying to get a straight line with a new razor blade, the sillicone moves, gathers and looks terrible. Would not use ever again.

    Easy application and looks great. Note that it went on lighter in color and I thought I had the wrong one but it dried darker and looks like the original.

    I do like the control the tubes provide, though a tad expensive. The product is good and the "poly" us resilient.

    Perfect match! Wow, if you need a product that looks like grout, that isn't grout...this is it. The color matches our FusionPro grout color perfectly and when dry looks just like grout. If you are expecting a caulk like consistency from this product you will be surprised. It comes out of the tube more like a wet or thin grout. More runny than caulk. Clean up a bit tricky too. BUT, the finished look is well worth it.

    I use this product all the time, but it isn't a replacement for traditional grout. I use it when existing grout is showing signs of wear, fine cracks, etc. Normally I just replace the grout, but sometimes this product is easier to use and does a better job than grout (when used like a caulk, over existing grout). I always have great results with it. Normally I let it cure 24 hours when exposed to water (e.g. shower stall). I attached a couple of pics, both taken in a shower stall. The polyblend is within the orange rectangle, and in one pic the arrows point to traditional grout. Once this cures it holds up well and feels just like grout. I also use it around the base of a toilet to finish it off so it looks like grout along with the rest of the tile. I'll continue to use this product over and over again.

    I needed to use this finish the job around my tile for my tub and shower. Unfortunately, the contractor did not complete his work... thank God for this product! It saved the day and I finished the bathroom myself ;o)

    Bought this caulk because I had used the simple grout premix for a fireplace surround and wanted caulk to match. The "natural gray" color blended nicely with my stone tile. I only had to caulk the inside edge that met up with the metal of the fireplace. I am fairly pleased with the results. Caulk was easy to use and clean up, I used painters tape on the fireplace and the tile to make cleaning off the excess easier (I highly recommend this method for any precision caulking job) Caulk filled the gap well and dried nicely. The only thing is, it's not quite the same color as the grout. It's close but not the same. Caulk appears more gray while grout has a little more tan tone to it (might have been due to my tile color) In my case you would never know because of the location of the caulk, but I could see it bothering a perfectionist like me if it was in a more noticeable location.

    I am only giving it 2 stars for one simple reason. And that is the color on the tube does NOT actually match the color of the caulk. If you're looking to color match, look at the colors on the BAGS OF GROUT themselves. These are more accurate. Other than that one terrible oversight by PolyBlend, the caulk works great.

    I have used the tube/gun type for two (2) different projects. It minimizes the mess of mixing and scooping the other types require. Also, in one case I had some open areas behind the tiles, and the caulk gun allowed me to fill it in without losing material out of the back side of the gap. It was easy to sponge the grout line. The final look is perfect.

    Have used this product in the past on new and for maintenance on tile projects where caulk is a better product in lieu of grout. This was used on the outside of an up stairs shower joint. Shower was built in 2007 (remodel project). picture of the finished project

    I was pleased to find caulk in the same color as the grout, but skeptical the color would actually match. I'm amazed, once the caulk cured it's almost impossible to tell where the grout ends and the caulk begins. Both products exceeded my expectations.

    I used this product to grout between laminate flooring and ceramic tile. This product went down like any other typical caulk. Clean up was easy and I scraped any excess off with a putty knife when it dried a little bit.

      Performs well with good color match
      I was pleased with this caulk to finish my tiling job. It matched the grout color pretty well and went in place without too much difficulty. The fact that it is a sanded caulk actually (inexplicably) makes this messy job slightly less messy, which was a bonus.

      Consistency of chocolate milk
      There must have been a manufacturing error because the at moment I cut the tip off (with no spring pressure engaged) it sprayed the wall

        caulk
        Match the caulk with the grout and you have to look really hard to tell the difference. this stuff is awesome!!! Clean up is easy and dry time is short. I used the light smoke grout and the light smoke caulk for this particular project check it out.

          Caulk matches grout well
          Worked beautifully along tub, and in expansion joint between saddle and granite floor tile. But the caulk sunk in noticeably (1/16in) where the depth was 3/8 in at the sill, and 1/4in or less along the tub (widths 1/4in at tub and 3/16in at sill), so mound it a bit to compensate for this, or plan 2 layers. I did use blue painter's tape to mask, and a straight-edged spatula to smooth it.

          Charcoal does not match
          we purchased the polyblend charcoal sanded caulk to match our polyblend charcoal sanded grout - and it didn't match at ALL!! the caulk was way too dark, very black, while the grout was more of a deep gray. it was so bad we ripped out the caulk and replaced it with grout.

            Terrbile! Did not cure in over 48 hours.
            Installed around a roman tub new install. Cured it for over 48 hours. Looked sort of rough BUT a bit of water got on the grout (after curing) as the faucets were installed. Melted like it was fresh. Took it back and will use regular silicone white caulk. Smallish difference in color as well. Not that bad but the curing was the problem.
