General Information about Caulk

There are several common types of caulk. Silicone-based caulk - bonds to almost anything, but isn´t paintable.
Acrylic or latex-based caulk - similar to silicone-based caulk, but is paintable. Clear caulk - primarily good for allowing the project surface to show through. Concrete or Masonry caulk - ideal for concrete and masonry surfaces.

Caulk comes in cylinders or squeeze tubes. Cylinders requires the use of a caulk gun while squeeze tubes can be applied directly to a project surface.
Many types of caulk come in colors for matching the caulk color to the surface color.
Caulk can only fill in spaces about 1/4 inch deep, so large holes or voids must be filled in with some other material first. Then, caulk can be applied on the surface as a sealant.

 

Painting tips & tricks of the day


Acoustic tile ceilings can usually be professionally cleaned for about 20% of the cost of replacement and 50% of the cost of painting. Partial replacement of ceiling tiles results in a "checkerboard" look. Regular cleaning assures the uniform appearance of your ceiling for years to come. Painting is messy and it can destroy the acoustical value and can alter the fire rating of your tiles. Cleaning ceiling tiles retains these qualities without leaving a lingering odor.

 

Caution must be taken with the use of thinners & cleaning products. Do a small discrete test area on the affected material with the cleaner/thinner to ensure that it will not damage the material to be cleaned.
