Product Feature: Acrylic Latex
Published by Content Cucumber on Apr 2nd 2019
Caulk can be used on all kinds of projects, varying from indoor to outdoor, and from functional to creative. Here are some of the different, awesome ways you can use Silicone Depot’s Siliconized Latex Acrylic caulk, taking advantage of its easy cleanup, durable hold, and water resistance.
#1: Don’t Get Blown Away
Did something scare you, or are you just chilly? Drafty homes are a nuisance. They leave us shivering, bundling up extra layers, and feeling generally annoyed. Thankfully, our siliconized latex acrylic caulk is resistant to water and the elements, so using it on potential sources of airflow both inside and outside the house comes without worry. Use a little bit of caulk to seal up window sills, doorways, or other places cold air might be sneaking in. Ah, the warmth of the modern age.
#2: Pool Surgery
Latex acrylic caulk affords you the strength, water resistance, and every application necessary for a solid foundation to repair pool cracks. Use our siliconized acrylic caulk to stop moisture from seeping beneath your pool’s surface, easily wipe away excess to create a level surface, and then apply the necessary concrete mixture to finish the job. You can then rest easy knowing that the contents of your pool won’t slowly drain into the ground. Cannonball!
#3: Hack Your Wallpaper
Let’s say you got the house feng-shui’d, but now the question of how to apply your elegant new wallpaper without it curling or shrinking upwards must be asked. Caulk is here to save the day! Using small amounts of caulk along the seams and on other sections where curling might occur will ensure that your wallpaper lives a long, happy life. Our siliconized acrylic caulk will also hold on tight without breaking away and sending your interior design Zen straight down to the floor. That does not spark joy.
#4: Channel Your Inner This Old House
Ever considered putting molding in a room of your house? Maybe you’ve noticed some unsightly gaps in bathroom tile, or the bathtub to the wall. Either way, acrylic latex moulding will soon be your best friend. Our acrylic latex caulk is super simple to use; it has a long work window and can cleans up with just water, giving you ample opportunity to make your amateur job look like it was done by a consummate professional.
Its waterproof properties make it ideal for use in the bathroom, kitchen, or even outside. This caulk can also be painted over without worry, making it look like there was never an issue at all! (Even though you’re going to show every guest how good of a job you did.)
#5: Ruin A Bug’s Day
Unwanted pests are sneaky and don’t need a wide open door to make themselves welcome in your home. Small openings that lead into attics, basements, rooms, or ventilation systems act as express lanes for all kinds of nasty insects and even small animals. Our latex acrylic caulk is the best way to shut the Fly Freeway down; varying amounts of caulk can be used on those small spaces both indoors and outdoors, barring your home from insect invaders.
#6: Hello, Picasso
Our latex caulk and its paint-friendliness were touched on, but warrant a category of their own. You don’t need a repair job for caulk to be indispensable! Our latex acrylic sealant can be slathered in as much paint as you want and be used to even out surfaces and touch up the corners where walls, door frames, and windows meet. You can even use it as a band-aid to hide an old paint job. Just remember to pick out a color you won’t hate in six months. Otherwise, paint until you collapse, Renaissance man!
#7: I’m Not Crying, Your House Is Crying
Drip, drip! That dreadful sound is the first sign of a roof leak. Fortunately, our acrylic latex caulk will hold up just about anywhere you don’t want moisture getting in, including spots on your roof.
You can use caulk as a preventative measure and hold shingles in place, or use it as either a temporary fix before the repairman arrives or as a base for an excellent DIY roof repair job. Indoor and outdoor use also mean that you can seal up potential issues on both sides of your roof. Do try not to get your hair wet.
#8: Shredding Gnar
Skateboards can get cracks in the deck, trucks, or any other place. If you don’t fix the issue, eventually your board will be rendered unusable, which is decidedly a total bummer. Our acrylic latex caulk can keep you on the upswing, though; its flexible nature means the vibrations, movements, and shocks of a board won’t break the caulk, and it can be painted over or stickered over, depending on which one is your thing. Sick.
