Answer This Question
A: Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP Alex Painter's Acrylic Latex Caulk is not a silicone formula, therefore does not have an acetic or neutral cure. It is a water-based formula, as such, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. Unless exposed to unusual conditions, discoloration would not be expected. Should you have any additional questions or wish to discuss this, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
