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?


Examine products on the shelf with caulk, find the color and make sure
it apply's with concrete.

I've used "grey rubbery caulk" before and it stuck. I can't get butyl
caulk out of my pants (used to build box cars). It out last my pants,
but I don't build box cars, buses, etc..

Hi,
It depends how side the gap is. Or it could be acting like expansion
joint. Also it matters how deep the gap is vertically. There is bigger
than usual size commercial caulking tube made for concrete/masonry which
is sort of grey color. If gap is deep, fill it with foam or rubber rope
and apply caulk. May need more than one pass. HD or Lowe will have what
you need.
