This will mostly get the job done but it isn't great. DAP Dynaflex 230 is better. Less prone to cracking and less unintended squeeze out between pulls.

I second this. If you are going to bother caulking spend a few extra bucks and get the 230. This stuff will just crack in six months or sooner

If you only need to caulk a very small amount, then yes. But if you want to use a caulk gun then you'll want to get a tube. Are you a homeowner? If so then you should own a caulk gun IMO

Yes, and I have a caulk gun. Just wanted to make sure I understood which caulk you mean. Great reviews, though I note it costs more than double the price of this deal (which also has great reviews and a rating of 4.7 / 5 stars).

Keep in mind that people usually review something right away and rarely revise their reviews. The reviews are going to be almost all non-professionals who don't necessarily know what a better caulk is like. IMO it's worth getting the better stuff especially if you're relying on it for waterproofing. Tradesman here who's dealt with the results of failed waterproofing and rot. I can identify the dry rot fungus by smell now.

Yeah, I'm not a professional, just a homeowner who uses caulk very occasionally for small jobs around the house. For me, the cheap stuff seems to work okay and I'm not super upset when the tube dries up (ha). I always appreciate when experts chime in - thank you so much for the insight.

Agree with the above. The only thing going for this is that it is cheap. It's a dinosaur that should have left shelves long ago imho. When I see a supposed professional with this stuff, I know what kind of job to expect out of them.

I've used many cases of this stuff. It's middle price and middle quality. The clear version is more flexible than the white version. I wouldn't rely on this for anything related to waterproofing or weathersealing. I mostly use it for cosmetic gaps and damping panels that are also being fastened. I use it professionally for baseboard and when doing casework for trade fairs and showrooms, when clients just don't want to see a line. These are temporary or medium term, non-structural applications. I think this stuff is great, but if I were doing tile work, or anything kitchen and bath, I would spring for the really good stuff.

It's good for filling gaps, but it WILL absolutely crack and separate with time and temp. Takes less than 2 months. Use silicone whenever can over this, especially since there is paintable silicone, though I have not tried that variety yet.

Will third the Dynaflex 230 endorsement and throw in Sashco big stretch as another option. This stuff is the cheapest for a reason and spending just a bit more is worth it unless you like caulking trim and baseboards as a hobby.
