Just used some decorators caulk after not using it for years.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it used to be in a form that was powdery
that you could sand lightly?

This acrylic stuff is like bleedin bath sealant...
Am I missing something here?

cheers

Sandable caulk used to be available (Radiospares listed it about 10
years ago), but I've not seen it around for a looooong time. I would
use it every time if I could get it easily.
