Default Rope caulk?

I have a patio that comes right up to the house. Between the
house and the patio is grey rubbery caulk. This caulk is missing
or messed up in some areas and I'd like to replace it. If you know
what I'm talking about, is this the product I need to buy?

If this isn't the product I need, do you know what I'm looking
for and where to buy it? As always, I appreciate your help.


The link you provided is for caulk to be used around windows.


Further down in the description it mentioned other uses.

Are you
trying to fill
a gap between concrete patio and concrete foundation?


Right.

If so, there
is a caulk
specifically for concrete expansion joints - just check out the caulk
rack at you favorite
big store. Probably have it in the masonry supplies as well.


What's confusing me is that this stuff is up to an inch wide and
doesn't look like it came out of a caulking gun. It looks like one
long piece of gray rope. I guess that's why I thought rope caulk.

Thanks, I will go look closer at what is available, I didn't have
much luck last time, I didn't even see this stuff I found online.
