Importance of Adhesive Quality and Flexibility

only use really high-end caulkings you can buy caulking for a tube for a dollar this stuff is significantly more expensive than that but one of the things you're not going to get with cheap caulking is the ability for it to bond really well to two edges or two surfaces you want a caulking that's gonna have a good adhesive qualities tower is amazing this is an acrylic urethane elastomeric sealant so it bonds very well and it stretches very well one of the worst things is to apply a caulking and then after the first winter come back and it actually separate from one side or actually crack and then you got to go back and do touch-ups so i want a caulking that has good adhesive qualities i want it to be able to stretch and flex because there is typically when you're caulking a crack you're going to have some type of movement that's why the crack is there you have some expansion contraction from heat to cold so from winter to summer there's going to be some movement and cheap caulking usually doesn't bond very well and it doesn't stretch very well and it typically will dry out really fast and eventually crack so i'm always using a lifetime warranty caulking and this is a product from tower right here once again this is an acrylic urethane elastomeric sealant and this is an awesome caulking this is a clear one and this is a white one i do use clear the majority time when i'm caulking over tape there's of some rare incidences if i'm caulking over tape and the tape has been taped onto a white surface i will use a white caulking because white caulking is a little bit thicker than a clear caulking because of the colorant that's added to it it makes it a little bit more viscous and i do like a thicker caulking when it comes to filling cracks but this is the the clear caulking that i use when i'm actually caulking over tape uh using that method if you've seen my videos if you haven't how to get a super laser straight line using frog tape and caulking you know this is what i'm using when it comes to caulking the exterior of a building when i'm doing um residential repaints or commercial repaints i'm using just a white um white caulking from tower now one of the cool things about tower the um the sealant the urethane the acrylic urethane elastomeric sealant is they have a bunch of different colors i think there's like 20 22 different colors if you need um colored caulking so this is a high performance class 25 caulking it does have 50 um joint movement so that means it…
