What happens here

While 100% silicone is not recommended for exterior use where painting is a factor, the speaker identifies its appropriate applications in specific interior settings. He suggests that 100% silicone is ideal for sealing areas inside a bathtub, whether it's a porcelain or fiberglass tub. In these environments, its excellent water-resistant and flexible properties are highly beneficial, and the caulk typically does not need to be painted, making it a suitable choice for creating a durable, waterproof seal.

Goal: To identify suitable indoor applications for 100% silicone caulking where its unique properties are advantageous.

So whatever you don't use, 100% silicone, I would use something like that inside of a bathtub, where that's like a porcelain bathtub, or by a glass bathtub, silicone. It's very rare where you would actually use it. There are latex or siliconized caulking
