    I’ve only ever used white caulk, though I know it comes in other colors. Maybe I need to try other color caulk - though it depends on my mood and the job at hand. I have a hard job that needs tan caulk currently. Home centers are a great place to pick up loads of caulk in all shades. Will start there.

    Hi there, there are a few reasons why you caulk may have dried too fast: 1) Your room’s humidity could be too low. 2) Your caulk is too hot or to cold, your caulk works best between 40-80 degrees, or your caulk may be expired.
