DAP Sidewinder window sealant

#1 Post by petras52 »

Hi...with freezing temps. getting close, has anyone used this modified hybred sealant? I'm looking for a sealant for vinyl window insert install that is good below freezing temps.. DAP website says it comes in several colors and can be used below freezing temps..any comments? thanks..

The only caulk we use on the exterior is OSI Quad.

thanks..regarding osi quad, I noticed that the original formulation, not the quad VOC, is getting more difficult to find..some of the performance specs for the new low voc quad are worse than the original, i.e. shrinkage is higher at 36% vs 14%, elongation 600% vs 1250%...are you still using the old formulation and/or am I being anal and these number differences don"t really mean a lot in the real world? thanks again..
