What our Experts Think
- True 100% silicone formula: Delivers a fully waterproof, flexible seal designed for long-term use in wet areas like tubs, showers, sinks, and backsplashes.
- Strong mold & mildew resistance: Built to help prevent stain-causing mold growth, making it suitable for high-moisture bathroom and kitchen environments.
- Permanently flexible seal: Stays elastic after curing, allowing it to handle movement between surfaces (important for tubs and tile joints).
- Fast, practical curing: Water-ready in about a day, with surface cure beginning within hours for faster project turnaround.
- Strong multi-surface adhesion: Bonds well to common materials like ceramic tile, porcelain, glass, metal, and most painted surfaces.
- Clear finish advantage: Dries transparent for a clean, low-visibility seal that blends into tile and fixtures.
- DIY-friendly application: Smooth dispensing cartridge design works with standard caulk guns for easy home installation.
- Best use case: Ideal for sealing bathroom and kitchen wet zones where you want a long-lasting, waterproof, flexible seal without paintability needs.

Q: How fast can it be exposed to water?
A: It is same-day water-ready, meaning it can be exposed to moisture shortly after application once it skins over.

Maintenance Tips
- Store tube in a cool, dry place with cap tightly sealed to prevent curing in the nozzle
- After opening, wipe nozzle clean before resealing to avoid clogging
- Use on clean, dry, grease-free surfaces for best adhesion and waterproof seal
- Apply in a continuous bead and smooth immediately for a tight, professional seal
- Allow full cure time (typically ~24 hours) before exposing to water or moisture
- Do not use over old, failing caulk—always remove and clean surface first
- Avoid painting over it (this is a non-paintable 100% silicone formula)
- Inspect sealed joints periodically in tubs, sinks, and showers for gaps or separation
- Reapply if you notice mold buildup, cracking, or loss of waterproof seal
- Keep away from extreme heat or freezing during storage to preserve performance
