Last year I re-caulked the counter tops in the kitchen, now a year later all the caulking has started to turn yellow.

I used Kitchen and bath white silicone caulking, guaranteed not to mold, mildew are change color. I don't know the brand.

What went wrong ?

Thanks


Can anyone post a suggestion on what went wrong or what type of caulk I should be using. Brand name ?

Thanks

Was it 100% silicone or a latex "Paintable" caulk. Even the pure RTV
will yellow a little over time tho, particularly if sunlight gets to
it.
