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. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Frank" wrote in message ups.com... For caulking pine exterior of 2x8s after staining is silicone or Lexel preferred? |

Does that include the exterior grade rated silicone caulks in that, or just
interior grades used on the exterior? "DanG" wrote in message ... I agree with Marson. I have dealt with many silicone failures. I believe in urethanes and Dow Corning 795 if you insist on silicone. |

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. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Dennis" wrote in message news:NQU7i.3$Gy4.1@trndny08...

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