Rated 1 out of 5 by from You get what you pay Bad product. Bought it to calk kitchen counter edges and also some window frames. The material is not very elastic. After few days of drying up. it started to crack. Now I need to do the job all over again. Either 100% latex or 100% silicone. Don't be fooled by the price. You get what you pay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from this is really easy to use and very important to finish the project....It is really easy as well and the nozzle allows for easy application

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Container leaks during use. The product inside is great and suits my purpose. The problem I experienced is that during application product squirted out of a small opening in the crimped end. This, unfortunately made for a very messy and much more tedious job than it should have been. As this happened with more than one tube it must have been a defect during the crimping of the container. Frustrating.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Absolute Crapola It shrinks badly resulting in cracks. And it turns greyish. I have to redo everything I did!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Go to latex caulk. Excellent product. I find it applies easily, and washes up easily as well when you do make a mistake. There are applications in a bathroom, from 3 years ago, that are holding up like new.

Is this caulk odourless?

If not, can you recommend one that is. My wife is pregnant and I need to have a product that is odourless so that it doesn't harm the fetus. THanks.
Asked by: Anonymous
DAP ALEX PLUS exhibits a very mild "latex" odor, however, we would recommend that there be no exposure to this material until after it has fully dried and there in no detectable odor.

Is this good for caulking around the edges of the bathtub that attaches to the wall tiles?

Asked by: Skh k
Yes, I used it along the back of my vanity where it meets the wall tiles. It is perfect. I expect eventually it will dry out and pull away, but not for a long time.

Can you tell me why this item is $2.37 online, but $3.27 in the store? I ordered it online, added it to my cart, an hour later in the store it was a higher price! I know there is sometimes minor differences, but that's a third more!

Can 162 mL Tube be used without caulking gun? I need it for a narrow space where the caulking gun too long to work with.

Asked by: Eric
