Cut nozzle at a 45º angle to desired bead size. 3.

Thank you for posting your feedback on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra (Clear). As indicated on the package label guidance and supporting product literature: "DAP Kwik Seal Ultra (Clear) applies white and dries clear in 7-14 days (depending on joint depth, temperature and humidity)." Dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions or by thick (deep) applications of the sealant. Please note that full clarity can only be achieved once all of the water contained within the product has evaporated. It is not uncommon for thinner/shallower areas to dry clear in just a few hours, while deeper/thicker areas take several days to dry clear. Assuming proper application, we would suggest that you allow the product additional time to dry and reach full performance. Because you did not provide any project details, it is difficult to provide a more specific response in this format. Should you wish to provide this information, so we can better address your concerns and discuss how best to proceed, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra Kitchen and Bath Sealant.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra. Kwik Seal Ultra (Clear) applies white and dries clear in 7-14 days (depending on joint depth, temperature and humidity). It is an acrylic-latex (water-based) chemistry, accordingly, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. Dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions, moisture in the application surfaces or by thick (deep) applications of the sealant. Clear acrylic-latex sealants cannot turn clear until all of the water contained in them has evaporated. Because you did not provide any project details, such as: size of the joint, application surfaces, surface preparation, application technique, application conditions or the amount of time since the product was applied, it is difficult to provide a proper response 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.

Thank you for posting your feedback on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra Kitchen and Bath Sealant. We are sorry to hear of your frustration with this product. Based on your commentary indicating: “dried out and falling off...” it would appear to indicate that you may be attempting to apply the sealant to an area where silicone and/or its residue may be present. Because silicone and its residue are classified as a "bond breaker" (a surface that is too slick to permit proper adhesion/bond formation), proper adhesion/product performance would not be expected. As indicated on the product package label/product literature: " Surface Preparation - Surface must be clean, structurally sound and free of all old caulk, dirt and other foreign material.” Because your review did not contain enough background/details about your project/application, it is difficult to provide a more detailed reply in this format. Should wish to provide these details, so that we can provide you with more specific product usage guidance or to recommend a more appropriate product, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Should you encounter a quality issue or if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, the product may be returned to the point of purchase or returned directly to DAP for a refund of your purchase price. Instructions for this process can be found on the product package.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP KWIK SEAL ULTRA. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: “Not for continuous underwater use”, likewise, applications subject to standing/ponding water are not recommended. Of note, the drain assembly depicted in your photograph does not appear to require the use of a sealant, as the application of sealant between the edge of the drain plate and base does not serve to make a watertight seal. Should you have any additional questions or wish to discuss this with us, please free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra Kitchen and Bath Caulk. Based on your commentary, it would appear to signal that there may be some concerns with the application site, such as instability in the surfaces that were being filled. Likewise, loss of adhesion to the substrate (often described as “peeling”) can also indicate that there may be a bond-breaker on the existing surface (silicone sealant or its residue). As is the case for this and all similar non-silicone-based formulas, it is not recommended for application to an existing application of silicone or where silicone residue may be present. Because silicone and its residue are classified as a "bond breaker" (a surface that is too slick to permit proper bond formation), proper adhesion/performance would not be expected. Normal cleaning and surface preparation methods are not likely adequate to address this condition. 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 and to provide you with guidance on how to best proceed.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP KWIK SEAL ULTRA Advanced Siliconized Sealant.

Should you have any additional questions or require assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Kwik Seal Ultra. Based on your commentary, it would appear to suggest that the caulk may have been applied to a contaminated surface. The most common contaminant is a previous application of 100% Silicone. Because silicone and its residue are classified as a "bond breaker" (a surface that is too slick to permit proper bond formation), proper adhesion/performance would not be expected.
