Non-Hardening Caulk
Also known as thumb-grade caulk, this forms a non-hardening, moisture-resistant seal that remains pliable.
Butyl rubber has a sticky, gummy consistency.
Butyl mastic has a clay-like consistency.

Glass Sealing Rope
Press this pliable rope into place to hold glass in window frames and seal leaks. It’s also known as glazing compound. The rope is non-sagging, so it won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. It’s good for use between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation. Remove the peel-off liner to install.

UV-Resistant Glass Sealants
These sealants don't degrade in sunlight. Also known as glazing compounds, use these sealants to install glass in framing. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance.
