Caulk Application Techniques: Austin’s Key to Lasting Seals

Open boxes of caulk, lots of tubes of caulk, colorful labels with no words, photorealistic, for magazine photography.

☀️ Austin’s unique climate requires some special considerations when tackling home remodeling projects, especially caulking. We’re lucky to have so many sunny days, but did you know that high temperatures during application can affect caulk’s durability? Making sure surfaces are dry and applying caulk when the temperature is moderate can help create a seal that stands the test of time and the infamous Austin weather!

Humidity plays a role too! 💧 Applying caulk on a rainy day might not give you the best results. Instead, choose a dry day to ensure optimal adhesion and flexibility. Paying attention to these little details can make a big difference in your remodeling projects, ensuring that those seals are strong and lasting.
