Using grey caulk in your kitchen and bath

Silicone sealants come in a variety of colours and categories. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable caulk that will match almost any decor, grey silicone caulk is your best bet. When properly applied, silicone sealants will seal and strengthen joints. It will also fight mold and mildew. Just follow these simple steps.

1. Surface preparation. Surfaces should be completely clean and dry.
2. Loading the caulk gun. Insert the grey silicone caulk tube into the gun. Using a razor or knife, cut a small hole near the tip of the tube. This will give you more control during application. Puncture the foil seal with a long nail or similar object. 
3. Apply the sealant. Squeeze the trigger to produce a steady, even flow moving slowly along the joint. Smooth the sealant with your finger. Wetting your finger with water will make for a more even application.
4. Allow the sealant to dry. Grey silicone sealant generally takes several hours to fully dry.
