Harry Thompson IVFebruary 28th, 2019

Ideal for Many Applications...Unless It’s to Be Painted

Silicone is supposed to last forever, but don’t use it on an application that will be painted. Conklin stocks in four colors. In sequence of popularity they are: Clear, Aluminum, Red (high temp, but not fire stop), and White.

These grille tap were caulked with Duro Dyne aluminum colored Silicone. However, the customer did not realize silicone does not hold paint.
This silicone will not be able to hold paint.
Hardcast 550 Flex Grip duct sealant in a cartridge is ideal for caulking around the taps if the job may be painted
