I thank the account owner for sharing the video, the information and instructions are helpful for beginners like me.
Thank you! This video was very helpful!
Dropping a LIKE on your video! As I am watching, seriously, I thought - "Oh great, a DAP commercial." Then realizing this is the DAP products channel, and the very fact that I specifically am using DAP products - Hilarious!
Excellent video and very helpful!
Its helpful for our window air leaks. Thank u
This is what I'm doing at the moment putting some caulk on my windows and doors and anything that air is coming in between cracks. But I'm using Alex plus all Purpose Acrylic Latex Caulk Plus Silicone 40 YR. It says for baseboards, Windows, Doors, Molding And Trim to me is good stuff. 👍
I love using DAP® when I'm building speaker boxes.
Great vid, very helpful. Thank you!
Professional work... great video..
Thank You great video
Great! Thanx
Pro instruction!
Can you use the 3.0 indoors? I just tried it out on one window in the bathromm which had wind drafts coming through holes. I used it, and it seems like it is working, but right now after 2 days it is rubbery/jelly like.
Great tips, thank you
Brand new freaking home. And my bill was so high found out the windows and doors weren’t sealed

Same here on a 6 month old house. We happened to take our shutters off and found that there was NO caulk on the outside of the windows. 😐

Look away, you won't see it! LOL
if it is not painted, will it turn yellow or darken over time?
(Not a review bot or anything), basically insulating my entire 2200 sqft house, I used lots of different caulking, DAP 230 is extremely easy to use and stays fairly flexible with easy cleanup. It will probably be my go-to caulking. I believe it is latex based, I honestly probably will only use polyurethane caulk and latex caulking, maybe don't use latex caulking on areas that have rust if appearance matters for you. The rust can be pushed up to the top of tbe caulk and you might need to redo it.

NOOB here. I thought the oils on your fingers damages the caulk. Is this true?

Caulk is not expensive, seems like about $6. American for a tube. But you do need the gun, I'm not sure how much that is. I'm just learning but already had one.
Oh just an advert to sell something

Yes, but there's a lot of good information mentioned in the video as well. Forgetting the product specific information it is still a good video to get an idea of how to do the job yourself.

Wouldn't it be better to seal from the inside.

Weatherize? Weatherproof. Weatherize sounds like you're going to subject it to all the weather, not make it secure from the weather.
Completely wrong

You should hire someone who can properly apply caulking to feature in your video. Cringed when you smeared the caulk with your finger, calling it a "smearing tool". Masking tape? So laughable.
