    Easy to use. Fast drying

    Got this product for free to try out. Easy to use. The caulk stick fits with other caulk guns. Application was smooth and there weren’t any issues. Would buy in future.

    I love this product

    Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone is my go-to product for finishing carpentry, baseboard and moulding. It cleans up easily, seals well, and it paints well. The brilliant white matches trim very well. The product is unbeatable for its price.

    Stellar performance for white chaulk

    Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone for a few home improvement projects, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and ease of use.

    One of the standout features of this caulk is its versatility. It’s suitable for various applications, including sealing gaps around windows, doors, trim, and even in bathrooms and kitchens. The fact that it combines acrylic latex with silicone makes it an excellent choice – you get the ease of clean-up and paintability of latex, alongside the durability and water resistance of silicone.

    The 300 mL size is quite manageable, providing an ample amount for multiple projects without being cumbersome. The white color is a perfect match for most standard surfaces, blending seamlessly and providing a polished look once dried.

    Application was straightforward, thanks to its smooth consistency. It dispensed well from the tube, and I appreciated the controlled flow it offered, allowing for precision even in tight corners. It dries quickly, too! I found that I could paint over it within 30 minutes, which is a significant time-saver for those working on detailed projects.

    Another aspect that impressed me was its elasticity. After curing, the caulk maintained a flexible seal, making it perfect for areas that might experience slight movement. This flexibility is crucial, especially around areas like windows and doors, where expansion and contraction can often lead to cracks in less flexible caulks.

    Cleanup was also a breeze. Just a little water and soap worked wonders while the caulk was still wet. It’s a huge plus that I didn't have to worry about harsh solvents or complex cleanup methods that come with some other caulk products.

    The only minor downside I encountered was that it did take a little longer to fully cure than some silicone-only caulks. However, this is a small price to pay for the excellent overall performance and the ease of use during application.

    In summary, Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone has become my go-to caulk for various sealing needs around the home. Its combination of flexibility, paintability, and ease of application makes it an outstanding choice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable caulking solution for both indoor and outdoor projects. A stellar product that I’d certainly buy again!

    Easy to use easy to clean

    I was asked to try and review Dap Alex Plus Acrylic latex caulk for free in exchange for my honest review. First, this was MY first time using any type of caulking on my own, and I thought I'd be able to take a video and pictures easily while I did this...😆Not! it was pretty easy to do. I just didn't anticipate that it would start coming out of the tube as soon as I cut it open. Maybe I had too much pressure on the caulking gun? I'm no expert, that's for sure. Anyways, I quickly managed to fill some gaps around windows inside and then quickly managed to clean up the messiest parts where I put too much on the gaps. It was very easy to apply in even small amounts for the small gap under the windows, and I tidied it up with a wipe of my finger. Then, on to the next window. Overall, I'm impressed how easy this was to do.
    Now I have an issue, and it requires me to research what to do with the empty tube. It is plastic and I don't think it's recyclable. There are no symbols on the tube, and i don't see any other instructions in the details, I don't like not knowing what to do. I'm guessing this will have to go to the hazardous waste day as it does have ingredients I think fall into those categories. I've searched the website and can't find an answer. A message is sent to the Chat on the website and hopefully I get an answer soon.
    Overall, easy to use, easy to clean up. A nice look when I applied it, I hope it doesn't get yellow and aged looking, but it is paintable so that will be a bonus.
    Thanks @butterly and @dap for this opportunity to try another product in the Dap lineup. The gaps look much better, and I'm sure the little bit more sealant will help keep more heat inside this winter.

    DAP Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone

    DAP Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone in White was a no brainer to go with for my needs. You can use it on window and door frames. I personally used it in my bathroom. It can be painted in 30 minutes, has excellent flexibility, waterproof seal, easy water clean up, low odour, and can be used interior and exterior.

    I opted to use it for my bathroom shower, and re-doing my windows and doors for the colder fall and upcoming winter season. It worked perfectly. The fumes were not overwhelming or nauseating. The smell actually dissipated quite quickly after applying. Being an amateur DIYer, it was easy to apply with a caulking gun and was so easy to clean up for the spots I may have overdone it.

    DAP has always been my go-to brand for anything and everything that needs some sealant/caulking. Its a brand I trust and would continue to purchase.

    Best I've used!

    After receiving this product for free to try this , this is my review :

    "I recently had the chance to use the Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone (300 mL in white) for several different projects around the house, and it’s safe to say I’m pretty impressed by the product's versatility and performance. I used it in various areas, including baseboards, window frames, door trims, and even in my bathroom around the sink and tub. For a general-purpose caulk, it does a great job adapting to different surfaces, including wood, drywall, tile, and glass, without any issues.

    First off, the application was a lot smoother than I expected. This caulk has a thick but smooth consistency that’s just right for control—it’s not too runny, so it doesn’t drip and make a mess, but it's also not so thick that it’s tough to work with. I was able to get a clean bead with minimal effort, and I appreciated that it doesn’t dry out in the nozzle while working. It’s also relatively beginner-friendly, which makes it a solid choice for DIYers or anyone who may not have professional caulking experience.

    Another highlight is the product's drying time. It’s not an instant set, but it’s fast enough that you’re not left waiting all day for it to cure, yet it still gives you enough time to make adjustments if necessary. I was able to touch it up and smooth it out without feeling rushed, which was especially helpful when I needed to work around corners and edges. Once dry, it forms a solid yet flexible seal that feels durable. I used it in some areas exposed to temperature changes, like near windows, and it held up well without cracking or peeling.

    One of the biggest advantages of this product is that it’s fully paintable once dry. I used a water-based paint over it, and the paint adhered nicely, with no signs of peeling or chipping. The caulk blends in well with the wall color and trim, and you can’t tell where the caulk lines are, which gives everything a more finished and professional look. This was a major selling point for me because it allowed me to achieve a seamless finish that looked like it was done by a pro.

    As for durability, the caulk is advertised as waterproof and mildew-resistant, which I found to be true in practice. After a couple of weeks in a bathroom setting, I haven’t seen any signs of mildew, and it’s holding up well against regular cleaning. I’m confident it will be a long-lasting solution, especially in moisture-prone areas.

    That said, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. First, I noticed a slight amount of shrinkage after the caulk fully cured. This didn’t affect the integrity of the seal, but it did leave a few very small gaps in places where I might need to reapply a thin layer to get the perfect finish. While it’s not a deal-breaker, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a flawless end result. The caulk also has a mild odor when first applied, which wasn’t too intense but could be an issue if you’re sensitive to smells or working in a poorly ventilated area. The odor does go away fairly quickly, though.

    Another potential consideration is the tube size. The 300 mL tube was just about right for my needs, but if you’re tackling a larger project or several areas, you might find yourself needing multiple tubes. It’s effective and a good value for small- to medium-sized projects, but for larger jobs, it may be worth considering if a larger size or bulk option is available.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend the Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone to anyone looking for a reliable, versatile caulk that’s easy to use, paintable, and long-lasting. It might not be completely perfect, but for the quality and ease of application it offers, I think it’s an excellent choice. The minor shrinkage issue is something that can be worked around, and the waterproof, mildew-resistant features really make it stand out as a great all-around caulking solution for various home projects. Four stars for solid performance, versatility, and ease of use!"

    Durable

    I received the Alex Plus All Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone for free, in exchange for my honest review. I love this product and definitely a great time to finish the outside windows that need a little love. The drying time was around 30 minutes so I wasn't worried about any moisture problems. We will definitely be grabbing more to finish up the rest of the "need to be done" areas

    Easy to use and fast drying

    I've used DAP products before. I find they get the job done. It's a good price for what you get and I like that it dries fairly quickly. As soon as it's dry, you are able to paint it. The application is easy and straightforward. It can be used both indoor and outdoor, I've personally only used this one for indoor, but have used other DAP products for outdoor with no issues.

    Must have for DIY renovations

    First of all, DAP is the first brand comes to our mind when we think of DIYs. This caulking keeps the job of sealing windows or doors must easier to do and it gets dried max 40mins and ready for painting. Especially worth for the price
