Decorator's caulk

[Richard C]

Brilliant stuff but is there one that doesnt shrink back so much? All the ones I've tried seem about the same!

 

[Zampa]

Theres not a lot of difference between them..however the last time i used the Mangers/Leyland one it was quite dry.

Never had a problem with Cerafix caulk available from B&Q.

I find most of them will shrink on deep /wide cracks...no matter how much I pump in.

gcol:
I stumbled on this, by a customer buying it for me on a job when I was short of the ICI stuff.
I was surprised when it didn't shrink or wrinkle after use.

Bit more use needed yet, but, up to now...it's good.

 

[Richard C]

I’m using Creafix Trade at the moment, is that as good as it gets!

 

[Growler]

Yes.

It's only supposed to be used for small beads.
Caulk isn't suitable for large cracks....that's what filler's for.

I have never had any problems with my caulk shrinking, I think because I do a bit, then go off and do something else, come back a few hours later and go over it again.
But even if I just do one lot of caulking I have never had any problems, and I have used quite a few makes.

The one make that did suprise me was, 'wickes' own brand, I think it was £1.09 a tube, bl00dy great stuff, I now use it all the time.
