Any make best? Especially in terms of shrinkage?

Decorator's Caulk
"Dave Plowman (News)" wrote in message
... Any make best? Especially in terms of shrinkage? I used loads of Evo Stik All Purpose sealant last year, especially the translucent version because you can see when it's fully dry. I prefer it to silicone sealant because it's overpaintable. Claims to be 30% "stronger than" silicone, whatever that means. Little shrinkage. Not cheap. Unfortunately Screwfix have stopped doing both white and clear versions as far as I can see. B&Q translucent acrylic sealant is OK but shrinks more. |
