Home Improvement Asked on March 10, 2021
I am looking for a long lasting caulking for exterior work. I have primarily metal cladding but there is metal to metal, metal to concrete and metal to painted wood areas that need caulking.
I reviewed this thread:
and it seems like the poly based caulks are prone to uv damage but a lot of people tend to like them.
One comment seemed to suggest that silicone sealant wouldn’t work for adhesion to painted wood. Do I need different caulk for the different areas?
My siding contractor recommends dow 795 which is a silicone sealant. Anyone have any negative views of dow 795?
Amazon reviews all seem quite good – https://www.amazon.com/Dow-Corning-Silicone-Building-Sealant/product-reviews/B000NY76MI/ref=cm_cr_unknown?filterByStar=five_star&pageNumber=1
Only one comment about it being too soft and damaged by cleaning and one about the cure time being 7-14 days (I am not fused about that).
