Ceramic Tile Caulk Question?

Is silicon and ceramic tile caulk the same thing?Is there a way to make more silicon come out of the tube while using the pump you put the tube in? Thanls

Answer:

Silicone and most ceramic tile caulks are generally not the same. If its a caulk to match a grout color it is not the same. Check the clean up method on each . Silicone needs mineral spirits or a strong cleaner similar. If its a water clean up , its latex based and completely different. Both have there usages. Silicone will dry hard but can be a bit flexable to the touch. Latex based caulks will dry very hard. The only way to get more to come out of the caulk gun is to cut a bigger hole in the tip of the tube. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
