DAP INC 18152 10.1 fl oz White Alex Plus Acrylic Latex Caulk with Silicone

Soft, smooth, thick and creamy perfect for filling in the gaps of my old tongue and groove ceiling. Acrylic clarity, makes it invisible to see. It’s odorless, easy to work with, sturdy and durable. The white is a true white, bright and beautiful. I painted over the caulk because it has a matte finish and my ceiling paint is a semi-gloss. Extremely versatile and can adhere to almost anything and dries very quickly. The mix of materials really makes this one the best! 5-stars, great quality and value, highly recommend!

This caulking is really good, and will buy more, I recommend this product to everyone

My husband purchased this DAP Alex Plus Acrylic Latex Caulk and as usual, it’s a great product. He’s used DAP for years and always recommends it for household projects. What we like: • Smooth application and easy cleanup while wet. • Good adhesion and flexibility once cured. • Paints well and holds up nicely. • Dependable white color that blends in with trim and walls. Whether it’s sealing around windows, baseboards, or bathroom fixtures, this caulk performs consistently. Highly recommend if you need a trustworthy acrylic latex caulk.

I am not a handyman (I am an old lady who has a lazy old husband). When grout starts cracking and coming away between ceramic tile, I got this Caulk (didn't need a caulking gun), cut open the tube, USED MY FINGER and applied the caulk wherever it was coming away from the tiles (which are off white - old grout is off white). USED A CLEAN POPSICLE STICK to smooth the caulk out between the tiles. Sprayed some Windex on a paper towel and cleaned any caulk that smeared. PERFECT! Didn't have to pay a "handyman" to come and do it and charge me a lot of money because this is time consuming. Then, after caulk dried, I put a little "Old English furniture oil" on a Q-tip and water and went over the white caulk to make it look more "off white" to match the older caulk. GREAT JOB, if I do say so myself!

I used this DAP Alex Plus Acrylic Latex Caulk with Silicone to seal up some interior baseboards and window trim. Overall, it’s a very solid 4 out of 5 because it is incredibly user-friendly. It applies smoothly, cleans up easily with just a damp cloth, and you can paint over it in about 30 minutes. However, I ran into a major issue in areas with high temperature exposure. While the service temperature is rated up to 180°F, I found that it cracks under high temperatures or in spots with direct, intense sun. It seems to lose its flexibility when it gets too hot, leading to visible splitting in the bead. If you are using this near a radiator, a sunny south-facing window, or a kitchen backsplash near the stove, you might want to reconsider. Pros: • Paint-Ready: Dries fast (30 mins) so you can get to painting quickly. • Low Odor: Safe to use indoors without strong chemical smells. • Cost-Effective: Very affordable compared to high-end elastomeric sealants. Cons: • Temperature Sensitivity: Prone to cracking and shrinking when exposed to heat or significant expansion/contraction. • Shrinkage: In larger gaps, it tends to pull away as it dries. If you’re doing standard interior trim in a climate-controlled room, this is the best way to go. But for high-heat areas, I’d suggest stepping up to an elastomeric sealant like Big Stretch.

This caulking is fantastic for baseboards and around interior windows. It dries quickly, the flow is consistent, clean up as easy, does not have an odor, and provides an excellent, smooth seal that is a paintable. It is pretty durable when used in indoors as intended. This is not for outdoor use or for wet areas, such as around sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, etc. But for baseboards, door trims, window trims, etc., this product is fantastic and also one of the most affordable options you could buy. TIP: Use a razor blade to cut the tip at an angle, which makes it perfect for applying between the baseboard and the wall, and there is very, very little excess. If you use the puncture tool on the caulking gun, you will have much more access which results in wasted product. Also, your caulk line will be much thicker and go on with less precision than if you use a razor blade and cut the tip at an angle..

Works great for sealing cracks and getting ready for cold weather. Great price! I will be ordering more!
