Easy To Use With One Trick

In the main bathroom in our house the previous owners did us a "favor" and renovated before we moved in and replaced what I'm envisioning was the original cast iron bathtub with the most inexpensive, generic fiberglass tub the home improvement store sold. This tub has been the very thorn in my side since the second day we moved in to our house. As there is a super convenient window inside the bathtub, I find myself scraping out and replacing the caulk around the window and entire tub every couple years. I am a caulking professional. My brother is also a professional - he is a builder. This year I was smart and before I purchased any caulk or just used the leftovers from two years ago, I called him. He suggested I used silicone caulk, but he also suggested that I be very careful because silicone can not be cleaned up with water. After watching 25 or more YouTube videos on how to caulk with silicone I learned that an ammonia free window cleaner (I used plain ammonia free windex in a squirt bottle) can be used to make the application of silicone caulk a lot easier. I was willing to try anything. I cleaned out the old caulk, cleaned up the mess and let everything dry overnight. I got my Windex, paper towel and disposable gloves ready and went to work. First, this caulk is really easy to use. I had no problem getting it out of the tube. I don't know if it's because I'm an experienced caulker already, but all you need to do is squeeze the tube and pull it in the direction you need caulk. It's not difficult. After laying down the caulk I sprayed it lightly with the Windex and then with my gloved hand I very gently took the excessive off and wiped it on a paper towel. I caulked the entire bath tub in less than 10 minutes. We let the caulk dry overnight just to be certain, but it was dry to the touch after 40 minutes. It took me longer to clean up the mess then it did to caulk the tub. I will update this review in a few months to see how this caulk lasts compared to the other bathroom caulk we had been using.

For pro-looking job - use non-ammonia foam window cleaner

If you are not an expert, silicone caulking can be sticky and challenging. In the kitchen, the seam between granite counter and wall tiles might be less than 1/8 inch. A caulk gun can deliver too much caulk if you are not a pro. This GE tube applicator of clear silicone caulk did a great job for a small caulk line. Tube was mostly used up on a 20 foot run. There is a useful trick you can find on Youtube. Apply this caulk, even up caulk with your finger, spray your work with a non-ammonia foam window cleaner, then use you finger to clean up excess caulk, just let foam cleaner dry up by itself. No paper towels near your work. Results look professional.

Gentle enough for a woman yet strong enough for a man. 😉

Other silicone sealants are so much more sticky and I have a horrible time squeezing the plastic tubes (must have strong and big hands for some of them) which makes it hard to get a smooth consistent bead. These tubes are much easier for a woman (in my opinion) AND they are dry enough to use in 1 hour, not one day! Best I've used yet and I've tried several.

This is THE STUFF!

Of all of the caulking products that I have tried, this is the best by far! I applied the product two months ago to about half of my tub, where it was needed. The small tube that I bought likely would have completed the tub, but it was not necessary. I am hoping that the lid it came with prevents it from drying out over time. (Actually, I could probably apply it now to other areas in need, such as around the window to better seal cracks.) The caulk has held up well against frequent contact with water (shower / tub). There are no visible signs of wear. When I need caulk again, I will definitely want to look for and purchase this product again. As long as you clean up before it dries, it is not terribly difficult to clean off. It is a bit more difficult to clean than poorer quality caulk, but soap and warm water does do the trick. Great stuff! And not terribly expensive, given the quality and expected sustainable quality.

Love it!

The product itself is fantastic. You cant return it so if you get a half dry one just let amazon know and they will sort it out

I LOVE THIS STUFF

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! It's the best silicone I've ever used. Work carefully & quickly though because this stuff is tacky and not like your regular silicone. If you get it on something, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth. Once it was set, it works perfectly. The water just beads on it - it's like a well waxed car! It's amazing. I haven't had any issues either like with other silicones... no small gaps or tiny holes appearing, or any mildew. I'll definitely buy again and have recommended this to everyone.

Highly recommended

Very impressed with this product. I recently replaced my thru the wall air conditioner. After installation there was a very thin area along the top that wasn’t flush with the frame around the unit. This was the perfect solution. Super easy to apply and spread with my finger. The price was great and I have no complaints whatsoever.

Great product for DIY

Great silicone sealant. The first inch or so out of the tube was clear, which concerned me since I ordered white. Don’t worry, just keep squeezing. I was able to use this on our shower after scraping out the old stuff out and killing any mildew. One small tube was enough for the whole shower. I used my finger to smooth out the lines but you can also buy tools to make it a smooth, consistent bead. I’ve heard you can buy certain products to help smooth the bead or I think a little soapy water in a spray bottle works just as well (I didn’t use either but might if I had to do the project again). It looks great and has been holding up well. Would purchase again. By the way this took me 4-5 hours. I recommend you check out how to videos on YouTube.

So much better to deal with.

These are so much better to deal with, 30 min set and it's ready for water, I like these smaller tubes than the larger ones that requires a caulking gun, less waste and clean up, no need to worry on left over silicone hardening in the nozzle or tube like it normally would in the larger tubes.

Glue sets up nicely

Glued clean glass pieces in place nicely. Glued one at a time starting with the bottom pieces. Waited for each piece to dry completely prior to gluing the next item. Recommend. I paid full price for this item.
