It's been a while since I used caulk. I found that dap is
crap, and dow is wow.

I am going to have the entire exterior of the house painted.
I want
to use a quality caulk.

I had a handyman repair a section or water damaged siding
and he just
used DAP alex painters and suggested the paint is the key.
Well..
one of the areas he repaired is where there was no flashing,
the caulk
failed, and water got up under the siding and garage door
top trim.
Siding, sheathing, outside header, and sandwich board
destroyed.

I want the the painter and myself to use a quality caulk
most
appropriate for siding butt joints, siding to trim joints,
siding to
soffit, around fascia, etc.

Water tooling and clean-up would be a plus.

One painted said he uses siliconized acrylic (he had a tube
of SW
950A).

I've heard good things about DAP ALEX ultra 230 and GE Groov
