What are you caulking? Is this exterior trim or what? At any rate, I
definitely wouldn't use Silicone. I'd use a one part urethane caulk
designed for windows and siding. Here is what we are currently
using: http://www.osiproseries.com/Products...r-roof-sealant

I agree with Marson. I have dealt with many silicone failures. I
believe in urethanes and Dow Corning 795 if you insist on
silicone.

Does that include the exterior grade rated silicone caulks in that, or just
interior grades used on the exterior?

Dennis,

I don't know what kind of silicone someone used before I got
involved. When I can grab one end of a silicone bead and pull it
out of the joint without breaking it, it tells me it was not
adhered to either surface. Try that with a bead of NP1 or
equivalent single part urethane.

Silicone is very sensitive to different types on different
substrates and will usually require priming. The NP of NP1 stands
for No Prime.

Thanks for the spelling correction. I was too lazy to walk out to the
shop and check the tubes.

I like it! Have fixed 2 cracked boats with it that are still water
tight 15 years later. One alumium and one wood.
