Oops – meant to post in general discussion –
I have cracked grout in the corner joints of a tiled shower. <!—-><!—-> <!—->
When my contractor installed a tile backsplash in my kitchen, he used a “sanded caulk” that looks like sanded grout but is flexible. Looks to me like this would be ideal for the shower as well. I want to avoid the “shiny caulk†look.<!—-> <!—->
But I can’t find sanded caulk in any area stores (hardwarde, tile, Home Depot). I’m in Fairfield County, CT. Anyone know where I can buy sanded caulk – either a store or online?

You must have missed it. Any good tile distributor and even HD will have color matched to grout-Caulk. Hardware? probably not.
A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Yeah, I get mine at Lowe's, and they've got a big selection. It'll be next to the grout, not next to the other caulk.

This is from TEC's website. That's the brand my local tile place carries.
HD and Lowes sell grout caulk in about 5-6 colors. Sometimes they sell unsanded, some sanded. Their shelf space is liomited. Find a real tile store. DalTile here sells caulk that matches all of the Custom brand grout, in both sanded and unsanded. About $5 a tube, but usually one tube is enough.
