Last Question: Presently the temps here in IL are in the Upper teens to low 30's. what is the minimum temp needed to use these materials and make them work ?
Unusually cold Nov., maybe this should wait until March ?

Thanks

The answer to that will be on the tube of the product. You can probably
also find it online in the product spec. Most of the common ones I've
seen are for 40F and above, not freezing, etc. Also, it's going to take
longer to cure at lower temps. You could get some relief by throwing an
old coat over it, etc. But if it's in the teens, I'd wait for Spring if using
the typical stuff. I'm sure they have others that probably do to lower temps.
Also, if you do proceed, make sure to use some backer rod or similar so that the
caulk isn't 1" deep. The thicker it is, the longer to cure. Better to
put down a couple installments a couple days apart, instead of one thick one.
