Talk:Caulk

The latest edits seem to muddle the caulk-sealant distinction. If we say caulk is relatively inelastic, and sealant is relatively elastic, then silicone is a sealant, not a caulk. That's how big manufacturers classify it.
Also, how about an informative example of curing time? The edits have removed all information about scale. If you say it varies according to chemical composition, the reader may assume you mean five to ten minutes, or five to ten years. So I'm editing this to say "several days", and hope an expert can offer an average curing time for silicone, for example.--JB Piggin 17:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Just came across this article on caulking. The picture of the US airman using a caulking gun may be appropriate to demonstrate the article, but the legend to the picture definitely is not. The person's name and even the obvious affiliation to the forces is not appropriate, and the reference to "arse" should be removed from what should be an encyclopeida, not a personal blog.24.57.129.133 04:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[J Smith, Ancaster, ONtario][reply]
Okay, I believe the 'word to the wise' bit, and it's most likely here for a good reason - but being curious to the point of psychosis, what does it mean? -- Kizor 19:37, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
There should be a mention of caulks time to dry. I think that's important to mention, but I am not sure of the average drying time. I do know it's around 24 hours, but again, I'm not sure of the average. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LogicalCreator (talk • contribs) 20:54, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to wooden boats, the term used to 'caulk' is "corking," especially in the Pacific Northwest. This involves driving cotton, then hemp fibers, followed by a tar sealer.
