DAP 100% Silicone Rubber Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing Sealant, 290 mL
DAP 100% Silicone Rubber Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing Sealant is an unfilled silicone that stays flexible and resists cracking around sinks, tubs, showers, backsplashes and countertops. It comes in a 290 mL cartridge for a standard caulk gun, in clear or white. Cured sealant resists mould and mildew and can be exposed to water after 12 hours.

How to Install
- Clean the joint so it is dry, sound and free of old caulk, soap scum and debris.
- Cut the nozzle at 45 degrees, puncture the inner foil seal and load the cartridge into a caulk gun.
- Fill the joint. Use foam backer rod first if it is deeper than 1/2 in.
- Tool or smooth the bead before it skins over.
- Keep water off for at least 12 hours and do not touch the bead for 24 hours.
- Remove uncured sealant with mineral spirits. Cut or scrape away cured sealant.
Not recommended for continuous underwater use or for brass, copper, zinc, iron or galvanized metal. Source: DAP 100% Silicone Kitchen & Bath technical data sheet (PDF).
