As the name implies, Sashco’s Big Stretch is more elastic than any other caulk I have ever used. This quality makes it great for bridging gaps that experience seasonal movement. It’s available clear and in 12 colors, and it can be used both indoors and out. It’s easy to tool, cleans up with soap and water, and remains stable for up to 10 freeze/thaw cycles. The only downside I’ve discovered is that it takes longer to dry than other sealants. You have to wait a minimum of four hours before doing exterior painting and from 24 to 48 hours before doing interior painting.
