Color Matched Caulking

dkillianjr

Hey guys, I remember seeing a caulking a while back that you could add some paint of your choice to it and have a custom colored caulking. Has anyone see or heard of such a thing? Or maybe are there any other options to getting a custom colored caulking? The reason I ask is sometimes when I install stained baseboard and crown and stuff like that if would be nice if I could caulk it to the wall after I install it and not have to touch up the white caulking. Any ideas guys?


Thanks, Dave

I've tinted lots of caulk for our customers.
Red-Devil makes the caulk, and there's a couple of "tinting kits"...
The cheap one is ~ $35 retail.
The good one (metal) is ~$90.

If we do it at the store for a customer, we charge $11.99.

Cleaning-up the mixer & syringe is kind of a pain ya know!!
