A 100% silicone sealant that is the reliable choice for waterproofing showers and tubs, as long as you never need to paint over it.

Pros

  • 100% waterproof and permanently flexible, making it ideal for showers, tubs, and sinks
  • Strong mold and mildew resistance for a long service life in wet areas
  • Ready for water exposure in about 30 minutes, so a shower can be used the same day

Cons

  • Cannot be painted, so the caulk color you choose is the color you keep
  • Strong vinegar-like acetoxy odor while curing that needs good ventilation
  • Harder to tool and smooth than latex caulk, and mistakes clean up only with solvent
