Just had the house sided with Hardie siding and now need to paint it.
What is the best caulk to use for Hardie siding? The house is in
Dallas, Texas.

Any good caulk will work. I buy DAP painters caulk by the case. It cures
quickly and is paintable in about 30 minutes.


But isn't "painters caulk" typically the cheapest lowest quality caulk
you can buy?



Make sure the caulk says it's paintable and is designed for outdoor use,
preferably on siding.
