A fool and his money..... Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 5 hours ago, Barlow said: NO. No, no, no. no, no. You are both thinking about sealant. Sealant is sealant in all its many, many forms. Caulk is caulk is caulk. (or caulking). It is a whole new experience than sealant. Caulk is just acrylic sealant innit. Only difference is silicone sealant is waterproof, acrylic sealant isn't, so you can't paint over the former but can the latter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when it gets to the stage of every finger covered in filler, and when the prospect of turning a tap on is just too messy, I have been known to just lick the only available clean finger in order to finish the last little bit. I mean, we’ve all been there Indeed, and that's another difference - caulk tastes nicer than silicone (the white flavour anyway, I've never tried clear flavour). Just realised you said clean finger- amateur! A true pro will lick a finger they've already used. Edited June 14, 2023 by A fool and his money.....

How you wet the finger is key, and being ready to switch quickly to a different one. Euphemisms abound on here today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the stubborn newsagent on Walpole Avenue in the late 1990s? They knocked the whole building down and wrapped the shop in plastic. He sold out eventually though. A bit ironic that the area remained a waste ground for 20 years afterwards - still is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now they have a cunning plan. Give it another decade or two and they can use Summerland site as the new cruise ship berth. Then you could hop straight on the semi-submerged Sea Horse Trams.
