When time is of the essence, Drylok’s cement hydraulic dry mix is worth consideration. This mix sets within 5 minutes, making it suitable for patches in a variety of masonry surfaces. EVERBUILD® Weather Mate® is a multi-use elastic filler that can be applied in wet weather and to wet surfaces, even under water, remaining permanently flexible. Intended for external use only it can be overpainted with most paints and woodstains when cured. Adheres to most common surfaces.

Position the nozzle at the point you want the caulk to fill the gap and start squeezing the trigger of the caulk gun gently. As the caulk starts to flow move the gun and nozzle along the gap ensuring that the caulk is fully filling the gap as you move. Work slowly and methodically.

Some caulks can be sanded, others rely on the skilled smoothing process for a good job. As with everything else in the building trade. Practice makes perfect. If you have a wide gap to fill you can cut the end of the nozzle to allow more caulk to flow but as our gap is only fairly slight we left the nozzle tip as it is.

So as you can see the two differ quite a lot with each being suited to a specific area of application and these should not be confused. What Type of Caulk Should I use? Caulking a building or property correctly can have a dramatic affect on how efficient it is in terms of keeping it water tight and air tight to prevent water and moisture creating mold, cold air entering and hot air escaping. When done correctly this can dramatically reduce heating costs and associated maintenance costs. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Typically, silicone sealants tend to be a fair bit more flexible than caulks as they are made using silicone (flexible polymer-based substances) that are very malleable and remain flexible even once cured which makes them ideal for filling and sealing gaps in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens that are subject to extreme temperature changes and expansion and contraction and also high levels of water and moisture where they need to remain fully flexible. Many but not all liquid caulks, sealers, and patches come premixed. Dry mixes require water, followed by hand mixing until they reach the desired consistency—which could be a combination of the manufacturer’s recommendations and how runny you need it to be. It’s best to follow mixing directions as closely as possible, but you can thin the mix with a minimal amount of extra water if absolutely necessary.

Firstly use a scraper to remove any chunks of debris if they are present and then use a suitable brush or paint brush to fully remove any dust and then finally use a vacuum to remove any final dust and debris and the items that you have removed.
