Dap Inc 18013 Tub and Tile Caulk 5.5 Oz Almond

Product Description

The DAP INC 18013 is a latex-based tub and tile caulk from the Kwik-Seal line, designed to deliver a durable, watertight seal in wet areas such as bathtub surrounds, shower enclosures, and tiled surfaces. Formulated to bond with the strength of an adhesive while applying like a standard caulk, this 5.5 oz tube in Almond provides flexibility after cure to accommodate minor movement and expansion. It tools easily for a clean, finished bead and cleans up with water before cure. Licensed plumbers, tile installers, and experienced remodelers are the typical installers of this product.

This caulk is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a flexible, mildew-resistant seal is needed around tubs, tile, sinks, and countertop edges. The Almond color blends with standard almond fixture finishes common in residential bathrooms and kitchens. Because it is paintable, it can also be topcoated to match custom color schemes after the caulk has fully cured.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or tile contractors following IPC and manufacturer surface preparation guidelines. The substrate must be clean, dry, and free of old caulk, soap residue, and mildew before application. Water supply to the fixture should be shut off and the area dried thoroughly prior to applying the caulk. Allow full cure time before exposing the joint to water.
