I need to caulk a good bit of exterior trim prior to painting. What is the
best caulk for this purpose. Wood to wood. How good is the regular cheapo
painters caulk? I want something that is going to last.

Do NOT use any kind of silicone with the noted exception of Dow Corning 795.
I wouldn't use any kind of latex.


Any of the polyurethanes are excellent: NP1, Vulkem, Tremco, etc

I have been using Titebond Metal Roof Sealant lately with very good
results. They call it a polymer, but it easy to work, easy to gun, and
has been phenomenal where used:
