DAP 3.0 18362 9 oz. Clear Window, Door, Trim & Siding High Performance Sealant

I built several wooden carriage doors and used 8 or 10 tubes of DAP 3.0 to seal the seams and am familiar with how it behaves. My interest in using it was to never repair these doors due to water damage. Yes, there are many advantages to water-based sealants, just as there are to water-based paints. However, for longevity, both oil-based paints and hybrid sealants are better, in my opinion. Sure, you've got to deal with minerals spirits for cleanup, but you only do that once in 10 years. I agree also that because it sticks to everything, you have to smooth the bead in one stroke. Going back over it with you finger to touch up will raise it up. But once it's smoothed over, it's great! I too had difficulty squeezing the gun, but if you better perforate the tube's seal and open-up the tip, its no problem. Finally, with the popular review "Not Paintable", I disagree. It does indeed require a latex primer, but after the latex, you can paint it with anything. Hope this offers some helpful guidance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always trust DAP to perform things around the house. It is quick to dry and holds up thru all the seasons. You can never go wrong with this sealant. There is no smell and it glides on easily on all surfaces. It is also quick drying and waterproof!
