Acrylic Latex Caulk


Acrylic Latex Caulk:
Acrylic latex caulk is the general purpose workhorse. It's inexpensive, fast drying and can be painted. Another nice feature is that since it's latex based, you have water clean up. Don't ask it to fill larger cracks though. It's best used for caulking around wood trim and thin joints in dry areas.
