Caulking protects your home - inside and out - against damage caused by heat, water and weather conditions.
| • |
Outside: it helps protect areas around windows and vents where water can seep in to places you can't see. |
| • |
Inside: caulking around bathtubs, showers, sinks and splashboards can prevent costly damage to floors and walls. |
Beautify your home by applying a bead of caulk around moldings, baseboards and cabinetry to give your home a "finished" look. You can also use caulk to disguise and correct gaps and other irregularities.

Caulks and Sealants - What's the Difference?
Caulks are typically general purpose products that fill gaps between building materials. They have average adhesion, low expansion/contraction and can be specified for interior or exterior use. Sealants are high-performance products with good adhesive properties to stick to a broad range of substrates. They also recover well when stretched or compressed – as in temperature extremes – so they perform well outside.

Hints and Tips for getting the best results
from White Lightning Caulks and Sealants
| • |
Make sure that surface to be caulked is clean and dry. |
| • |
Don't caulk outdoors when rain is expected. |
| • |
For easiest application cut caulk tube nozzle to a 45° angle. |
| • |
For best adhesion, be sure to "tool" caulk, using your finger, a disposable spoon or a damp rag for latex caulks. |
| • |
For better energy savings, caulk windows & doors on the inside AND outside. |
| • |
Check around your home's foundation where heat can escape and water can get in. |
| • |
On a sunny day, cover windows, doors and other basement light sources to check for possible gaps and leaks in foundation. |
| • |
For gaps deeper than 1/2" first fill them with backer rod up to 1/2" from the surface, then caulk. |
| • |
To prevent caulk cracking around bathtubs, fill tub up to normal water level before caulking. Leave the tub filled until the caulk is cured. |
| • |
Make sure that caulk is fully cured before using newly caulked tubs or showers. |
