What is the difference (if any) in use between acrylic frame sealant and
acrylic caulk (both for external use)? I want to tidy up cracks around
a wooden window frame which moves a bit with the seasons - some a few mm
wide and a cm or more deep but nothing structural. From the
descriptions/specs I can't tell if I need a bit of both to handle a
range of widths/depths or can get away with just one.




Caulk is decorative only, and can be painted over.
Sealant usually has adhesive & sealing properties - and can't be painted
over (successfully)

I think acrylic caulk can, and de3corators caulk IS of course a seal.

I used it to stop minor leaks on a motor caravan.
