azek caulking
bond and fill painters caulking, bought it for a nice new houses trim, big house, good money, figured use the specific product, $12.95 a tube, it was nearly impossible to use. It took two hands to squeeze out of the gun and was the consistancy of phenoseal on steroids. Plus it only has a one year warrantee! save yourself the grief....

I couldn't bring myself to spend 12.95 a tube.
I had to use this GE caulk before, that stuff was so thick it too took 2 hand to get it out of the tube.
How many tubes did you buy?

bought 15, set three guys up to caulk and fill, retuned at 1:00pm, and only five tubes were used. To difficult to squeeze. The remainder was returned. You see, it would have been worth the cost for insurance purposes. If the azek seperated, which it does ALOT, no finger pointed at me and my product, Because bond and fill is actually endorsed by azek. At least I wont loose because the cost was figured in and will now be re adjusted. Imagine that though, just a one year warrantee!

This was for exterior right?
I will take your advice and steer clear of that crap.

Yeah i figured that was what it was used for.
I just googled it and now it makes more sense. A year is pretty week warrantee.
