We have tried thru a referral the lexel product but we didnt like it or will purchase it again.

What does it do in the rain? Seems like the chemistry would be fine...

Solar Seal has to be ordered here making it to much hassle. (I did like it for log/type structures.....

NP1 does not hold up under direct sunlight (2 years on a roof in Arizona)

pro-seal is messy

Geo-cell I don't like,,,,hard for me to get a nice bead.....

Quad has a longer tip making it beneficial on log homes

I have been using loctite Polyseamseal since it came out with great results. I tool it always

How did quad handle (application) in your heat?

Do you guys use hand guns or electric?

my humble option says,,,,,,,,,,,, that all sealants should be maintained at a temperature of no less then 10 degrees below ambient temperature,,,,,,, unless you are below a certain parallel it goes up from there.............

70 degree caulk is the bomb...........

70 degree substrate is the bomb too.

I asked about electric guns, because the gentleman that said he cant get a good head with geocell, that would make sense if you are using tradition hand gun, the stuff is so darn thick nearly impossible to pump

So how long does it take for solar seal to dry clear? It's been a week and it is still milky color on my sample. The through the roof is crystal clear and cured.

Just saw lexel first time in lowes this morning. (~$9 per tube)

Looking forward to Eric's article! Good discussion I've used quad the last few years.

I do think that while I never would have thought so before entering this exclusion arena how important the types of sealants,
hardware and other accessories essential to the job as well as how to properly employ them would be so crucial.

Lately on some follow behind bat work I'm seeing where folks tried to fill massive gaps with no backer rod or other modification
and the caulk shows that this wasn't its intended purpose.

While many learn what works on he job over time and filter their options based on that it is awesome to see an intelligent discussion
based on a variety of regions about these products pretty sure knowing the posters we are covered coast to coast.

See, this reverts back to what I said about farmers and their offspring. When Justin said, $9 a tube, I felt a cold shiver go up my spine!
