![]() He caulked the whole job with this stuff. ![]() My Question is, I had a idiot installer just use a regular tube of DAP paintable latex sealant caulking and mixed it with paint instead of using the Red Devil caulking that is designed to accept paint. Now that is really expensive but when you need color matched caulk to get out of a jam, then it's worth it. The mixing kit is $30 and each tube of caulk is $5 or $60 per case. It's quick and easy and when your done mixing, you put the bottom back in and your ready to go. You then take the mixer that comes with the kit and mix it. Remove the bottom of the caulking tube and insert the paint. You ask the painter for some of his water based paint, about 10 cc. Basically, they make a special formulated caulk that will accept paint. Now, the painter or ourselves can do the caulking at any point because it's already color matched. ![]() Typically we would caulk our product and then the painter would come in behind us to do his final coat and paint over the white latex caulking that would normally be used. It makes the job look a lot nicer and it kind of makes the job go a little faster. It's really nice to be able to mix a tube of caulk to match your product or the color of the walls. After the install is complete we are most of the time responsible for the caulking if the painter does not have caulking in his contract. I have a question about color matched caulking but first I would like to tell you about a really neat product our there for people who do cabinet, trim, millwork installs.Īt my company we fabricate custom millwork and do our own installing.
