DAP® Alex Plus™ Latex Caulk Silicone, 10.1 oz Cartridge, 18152, White

DAP Alex Plus Latex Caulk For Interior And Exterior Sealing

DAP Alex Plus latex caulk is an acrylic latex caulk that bonds to wood, brick, glass, metal, plaster, drywall, and painted surfaces, so one cartridge handles a wide range of typical construction and woodworking joints on the same job. The product is designed for both interior and exterior use, allowing the same material to be carried from trim work inside to masonry and siding details outside without changing caulks. It forms a flexible, weatherproof seal that will not dry out, become brittle, or separate from the joint, which helps joints stay closed through seasonal changes. The cured caulk is mildew-resistant, supporting long-term appearance in areas that see moisture. Water cleanup lets installers use standard tools and cleanup routines. The 10.1 oz cartridge size suits common caulk guns and typical production workflows.

Key Caulk Properties That Support Daily Work

• The acrylic latex caulk bonds to wood, brick, glass, metal, plaster, drywall, and painted surfaces, so one product can be applied across mixed substrates on a project without changing materials mid-task.
• Interior and exterior use allows the same white caulk to be used from interior trim and drywall joints to exterior brick or metal transitions, simplifying stocking and jobsite planning.
• Its flexible, weatherproof seal is formulated so it will not dry out, become brittle, or separate from the joint, which supports long-term joint integrity where movement and weather exposure are expected.
• Excellent flexibility helps the seal resist expansion and contraction without cracking, so seasonal and daily temperature swings are less likely to create visible gaps along finished edges.
• Cured caulk is mildew-resistant, which helps the sealed areas maintain a cleaner appearance in damp or high-humidity environments over time.
• Water cleanup means tools, hands, and adjacent surfaces can be cleaned with water during installation, supporting faster turnover between tasks and reducing solvent use on site.

Application Timing And Paint-Ready Scheduling Details

The product is available in a fast dry version that is paintable after approximately 40 minutes, which supports quicker finishing when paint schedules are tight. The standard version is paintable after approximately 2 hours, allowing planning around normal workflow between caulking and painting on trim, drywall, or exterior details. This flexibility between fast dry and standard versions helps match cure time to job requirements. The caulk offers freeze/thaw stability listed as stable, so it tolerates temperature cycling during normal distribution and storage conditions. The 10.1 oz cartridge format fits common application patterns on both small and larger sealing runs.

Using This Acrylic Latex Caulk In Real Projects

Where This Acrylic Latex Caulk Performs Best

This acrylic latex caulk is categorized as an acrylic latex caulk for adhesives and caulks applications, making it suitable where bonding and sealing are both required around woodwork and construction joints. Its ability to bond to wood, brick, glass, metal, plaster, drywall, and painted surfaces means it can be used along baseboards, casing, cabinet trim, window and door perimeters, and transitions between dissimilar materials. Interior and exterior use supports continuous sealing lines that run from inside finished spaces to exterior elements, reducing changes in appearance at transitions. The white color suits common painted trim and wall systems, providing a base that can be painted to match adjacent finishes.

Why Its Flexibility And Weatherproof Seal Matter

The caulk forms a flexible, weatherproof seal that will not dry out, become brittle, or separate from the joint, which helps maintain a tight seal where joints experience movement from building settlement or temperature changes. Its excellent flexibility resists expansion and contraction without cracking, supporting cleaner paint lines and reducing visible seams over time. Mildew-resistant cured caulk helps the sealed joint remain more visually consistent in humid or moisture-prone locations. Water cleanup supports straightforward tooling and edge finishing, which can improve the appearance of fine trim and detailed joints. Freeze/thaw stability listed as stable helps preserve performance characteristics after exposure to temperature cycling during handling and normal storage.
