Acrylic latex caulk
Compare acrylic latex caulks for window and door frames, trim and other joints where the product’s instructions allow use. Painting time and joint limits vary by product.
Cranco lists TremFlex 834, TremGlaze SA1100, ALEX PLUS and ALEX FAST DRY. The two DAP products contain silicone and remain acrylic latex caulks.
Which caulk should I use before painting trim?
ALEX PLUS and ALEX FAST DRY list baseboards, moulding and trim among their uses. Compare the DAP application instructions with your joint and painting schedule. Paint-ready time and water-ready time are different requirements.
Can acrylic latex caulk be used outside?
The listed Tremco and DAP products include interior and exterior uses in their product information. That does not cover every exterior joint. Check the named surfaces, joint dimensions, movement limit and weather exposure instructions for the product.

Choose for the painting schedule and joint
Check paint-ready time separately from full drying and water-ready time. A surface ready for paint may still need more time before exposure to water.
For TremGlaze SA1100, the Tremco data sheet limits movement to 12.5% and says not to apply to damp or contaminated surfaces. DAP gives ALEX PLUS and ALEX FAST DRY different maximum joint dimensions; read the sheet for the product you choose.
