There are many types of caulking for your house. There is silicon caulking, silicon latex caulking, tub caulking, painter's caulking and more. This are to help seal up the cracks that you need to fill. If you don't have anything to seal up a hole in the wall you can use caulking to patch it up. There is white, clear, brownish orange, black and off white. You can use it around the windows so the cold air will stay out.
Silicon caulking is very toxic and it comes in white, black and clear. This stuff is not to be used on wood, marble, natural stones, masonry and granite. Because it will not work on it, it only works on glass, metal, porcelain and ceramic tiles. You have to watch what you are doing when you handle this stuff because like said before it is toxic.
Then there is silicon latex caulking that can be used inside and outside and water will not make it break down. This stuff works in different places because it has silicon formulate in the caulking. A rag can clean up this stuff when it is wet.
Tub caulking is to seal up the cracks in the tile so water will not get in and cause mold or mildew. You put it between the tub and the tiles to seal it and so it will not cause mold damage. But don't put that white caulking on it because it will come off, you need to use the clear kind for it to work.
You can use painter caulking to fill up the holes in your wall and some people use it to fill up the hole in the floor. It is used to seal up a corner and to make it seamless so nothing can get in or out. It is the best stuff to use on these kinds of things.
Everyone uses caulking for their homes it is not uncommon. It is the stuff if you want to fix something fast. You can use it on your sinks, between the floor and the walls, inside your tub, not just on the outside of it. You can use it around your faucets to where it will not leak everywhere. You can use it to fix the little things in your home. You can use it in your shed, barns or anything else for that matter. If you have a problem like this go to the store and get some of this.
