Waterproof Sealant
This sealant comes exactly as shown with an attached screw on tip and a screw on top for that.As reviewers have mentioned, each tube does have a manufactured date as well as what I assume to be an expiry date. For this kind, it seems to last for 1year. I received a tube that was made on March 29 2022. And expires on March 29 of 2023. So, my tube has 3 months left as well. Whoever is selling these must have old stock or they aren't selling well enough to stock current merchandise.So far it is easy to use and works well for my simple needs. I don't think I can use this whole tube in that span of time as I don't do that many of these type of projects but maybe the screw on top will keep it sealed enough to last longer.

Good Paint Adhesion and Heavier Body Initially Than Latex Caulk or Typical Construction Adhesives
The thixotropic properties the seller mentions in the listing make for a bit more work to extrude a bead using the caulk gun, but the payoff is that I found the material much easier to control and form after placing the bead (as when sealing the crack shown- working to form a uniform shoulder using a gloved finger). I undertake a lot of home repair and construction projects involving a variety of sealants and construction adhesives, having used about every product available at big box stores as well as some very specialized ones. This is a bit unlike anything else I’ve ever worked with, blurring the line between UV resistant caulk/sealant and construction adhesive, while having a thicker body than either. I painted over the repair with a high quality acrylic paint as shown in the last picture and adhesion was just as-hoped. Given the convenient resealability using the screw-on cap (I wish all vendors went that route- that’s another first for me as well), despite its costing a bit more than some alternatives I intend to keep the product on-hand for those jobs where UV is a factor or the extra viscosity and control make for quicker, cleaner work.

Short shelf life remaining, possible hazardous waste
This is a very strong adhesive. The long nozzle and screw on cap are features I wish every caulk manufacturer used.The tube I got was manufactured nine months ago and has only three months until expiry. That may explain why it’s so hard to push out. Unless I had an immediate need, I would not order this online.Other reviews note the sparse instructions for use in very fine print. It says it is “ECO friendly.” But it also says, “H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. P273 Avoid release to the environment. P501 Dispose of contents/ container to hazardous or special waste collection point in accordance with local, regional, national and/or international regulation.” Seems like the EU considers this product to require hazardous waste disposal of empties.

Great bonding between dissimilar metals
I had to replace a damaged aluminum skin on an enclosed trailer, and I needed an adhesive that would hold between the skin and the steel frame members on this screw-less design. After cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed the skin in place - the only screws are two in the bottom corners that are covered by a trim piece. I used some soft foam between the panel and a sheet of plywood that I put weight against to ensure full contact (actually used the truck bumper to hold pressure against the plywood) of the aluminum panel against the adhesive coated frame (3/8" bead of adhesive). I left it over the weekend, and when I removed the plywood, found the aluminum panel to be very well adhered. It has now been over two months, and it has stayed perfectly in place. I would use this again when I need a permanent, waterproof, and semi-flexible adhesive.

Strong, Fast, Heavy Duty Bond!
I used this material to attach fabric-backed vinyl to the underside of irregular fiberglass. This is considered a very difficult combination. I smoothed it out to a thickness of about 1/16 inch on the fiberglass side, as the fabric side was too flexible to coat. The material starts out looking like cream cheese. After setting for one minute, I squeezed the joint together and the majority stuck instantly. After a second push the bond strength was already many times the weight if the cloth. Unlike products with similar names, this material has no water, vinegar, silicone or solvent. It starts out and stays white and can be painted when dry. There are no cleanup instructions so I covered my tools in plastic wrap. The cured or uncured material should not come in contact with food or living organisms. If you use it to secure kitchen surfaces such as tile, you should seal it in with another product. Highly recommended.

Excellent adhesion to many different materials
This is a good quality multi-purpose construction adhesive and sealant. It sticks well to many different materials and thus can be used to joint wood to concrete, metal to wood, and so on.Made in Turkey by an industrial materials supplier. It seems comparable to similar material made by other companies. Other than the convenience of ordering it, you can buy similar us made materials from better known brands at your local home center or hardware store.

Interesting Product - Bonds Well
Over the years, I’ve used numerous brands and types of caulks and adhesives, but this is the first product I’ve used that is marketed as both a sealant and adhesive. This is a very high quality product, though it is just a tad more expensive than some of the other adhesives I use regularly. The fact is doubles as a paintable caulk may justify that cost for some applications.It bonds well and is fairly easy to smooth... but does require just a little more effort to squeeze it from the tube. The tube I received was manufactured nine months ago with only a three-month shelf life remaining, so I would be hesitant about ordering more than you need short term.
