Acrylic Latex Caulk

Starting with a steady hand and a clean surface is the secret to a professional-looking bead. We suggest cutting the tip of your tube at a forty-five-degree angle to match the size of the gap you are filling. We have heard that most folks have the best luck pulling the gun toward them rather than pushing it along the seam. This ensures the Acrylic Latex Caulk fills the space completely and leaves you with a seal that will actually stay put. It is a simple weekend task that saves you a lot of headache when it comes to keeping drafts out of the house.

Our general rule is that it stands up to a splash or a rainy day just fine once it has had time to fully cure. While it is excellent for sealing up window frames and door casings throughout the Ozarks, we wouldn’t recommend using Acrylic Latex Caulk for something that stays underwater, like a swimming pool or a fish tank. It is built to shed water and keep the moisture from rotting out your wood, but it needs to dry out between soakings. It is a reliable partner for most around-the-house chores, but it has its limits when things get truly swampy.
