Mith said:I gotta ask guys, what is a box store? Is it some kind of DIY supply store? Or does it just describe a store where you pick stuff out the packing boxes?
Home Depot and Lowes are two of the biggest "box stores". Not exactly sure where the "box store" name came from.
The stores are shaped like big boxes, a lot of their products are displayed in brown cardboard boxes, you can buy big boxes of stuff there . . .

Brian; I finally got around to sealing up the 2 windows with the sealant. It was pretty hard squeezing the tube, like you mentioned. So, I just cut more of the nozzle off and made a bigger hole. I had to dig out a small amount that had set before I could use it too. I wonder if this stuff comes in a caulking gun size tube?
Bob; How'd you make out?

I cut a good chunk off the nozzle as well.
Sounds like yours was a bit better although you had some dried up stuff as well.
I really didn't want to cut off that much of the nozzle since I wanted to squeeze it between the door and its frame (which isn't very large). I now have a coat across the front more than between to fill the gap.
I haven't seen it in a caulk gun size but have heard some mfgr(s) are putting it in a cheese wiz type can. Don't know if I'd like that as it's too hard to control the flow.
BTW - Why does all of that triple-expansion foam stuff dry up (in an unused can) if you don't use it within about 2 weeks of buying it? It just won't come out of the can...

I've never had that happen to an unused can. It has happened with ones that I didn't use the whole can. I usually use the minimal expanding type, maybe that's why. I dinnanu.
In my earlier years, I had 3 or 4 cans that were partially used. Instead of throwing them in the garbage, I thought I'd have some fun. I set the cans up 60 paces away, and nailed them with my Bush Master. Man, that stuff goes all over. On trees, weeds, rocks, or anything within range!!! Oh, did I say that was last summer?

If you thoroughly clean the hose and the top of the can with acetone it won't dry up. Takes a good amount of acetone or some patience with a QTip - I usually just soak it in acetone for a while and dissolve anything that could dry up (more).

I'm sure it is neat. I think I'll take all my cans over to the neighbors range and offer 1/2 of the targets to him.johnday said:Oh yeah, it's still there!! Probably will be for awhile too. I don't know how long it takes for the mean old UV rays to destroy it. Ya oughta try it once, it's pretty neat.
Bump.
Off to the store today and need to get more of the stuff to seal the doors for this winter. Had to find this thread so I could get the product name.

Bob - Don't use this stuff to seal the cracks between the door and the frame. The door will not open until this caulk is removed.B_Skurka said:
Dave - I used the Liquid Nails Windjammer product. It came off with no issues this spring. I just pulled another piece off a minute ago to see what it acts like after 1 year. It pealed right off, again with no residue (on a stained surface). Not sure if the products are different or the application.DaveNay said:
