Best Adhesive Caulk of 2025

"I recently re-caulked the shower floor, using this Dap product instead of a whole tube of silicone caulk. Application was easy, and I found that getting the right bead size was crucial. It flowed out nicely and smoothed easily with a wet finger. I appreciate that it resists mold and mildew, and after a month, it still looks pure white."

"I bought this product to fill the gaps between my kitchen counter and the backsplash while fixing up my older home. Using a rubber glove and my fingertip, I molded the caulk where needed. Following up with a paper towel and a putty knife after it dried gave me results that were even better than I expected. It's very easy to use."

"I have used this sealant for years. It's not only easy to apply and seals well, but I’ve also utilized it for various repairs. It even holds items together effectively. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for items like plates or cups that will be washed or microwaved."

"The Gorilla Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive has become a staple in my DIY projects. This 9-ounce cartridge packs a punch with its strong bonding capabilities. I've used it on wood, metal, and concrete, and it consistently delivers a solid hold. The adhesive sets quickly and cures to a durable finish, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. What I appreciate most is its versatility. Whether I'm working on a small repair or a larger construction project, this adhesive performs exceptionally well."

"I tried a popular adhesive on the market with no luck, but this product worked perfectly for gluing down a rubber seal on my pool deck. I highly recommend it."

"Best for paintings or even shelves if you don't want to drill. I was buying this before from other countries, and I'm glad it's now available in the UAE."

"This caulk is super easy to handle. I’ve used it to seal cracks in my bathroom and around my kitchen sink."

"I've trusted this product for years. When applied properly, it works great! Just a bit disappointed with the sellers losing caps."

"This stuff works well for filling wall cracks, but it can be a little sticky and hard to push into the cracks."

"This stuff is incredibly strong! I used it to mount a USB hub under my desk. While it initially fell off after an hour, after holding it in place with my knee for 30 minutes, it finally stuck. Just a heads up, make sure you have a caulking gun! I had a bit of a struggle getting into the tube, but once I did, it worked wonders. I've used it for fixing toys and even a dislocated boot heel, and it's held up perfectly for months!"

"I found Liquid Nails to be a versatile adhesive for attaching a rubber garage door threshold to concrete. It came out of the tube easily, not too stiff or runny. However, I was surprised by how long it took to dry—24 hours minimum and up to two weeks for a full cure. I recommend moving your car out of the garage before starting your project, as my threshold shifted a couple of times due to the wet adhesive."

"I used this product to adhere a rubber weather strip in my garage. The application process was straightforward: I pre-fit the strip and cleaned the area first. One tube was sufficient for a 16-foot span. Although it took about 10 days to fully cure due to the cold temperatures, the strip has been holding well for a month now. I appreciate that I can pull it up if needed—it's not a mega permanent adhesive."

“I've utilized this glue for various projects, such as adhering vinyl to steel in underwater settings and fixing a convertible top. It performed excellently in most cases, although it had some minor issues with the convertible top repair. The adhesive worked well for a year before showing signs of aging, like yellowing and cracking. Still, it was a great value compared to others.”

“I ordered this super hard glue from Amazon since my local hardware store doesn’t stock it. After applying it and waiting about 15-20 minutes, I found it to be the best adhesive available. Unlike other Gorilla cements, this one doesn’t leave an ugly residue. I use it for my sculpture projects and plan to continue using it because it meets all my needs.”

“After using this adhesive to glue rubber mats to my garage wall, I was impressed by its effectiveness. It created a strong bond that prevented my car door from hitting the wall. So far, I’ve been satisfied with the results.”

"I used this to seal up my headlight housings, which weren't completely sealed from the factory. After cleaning with Isopropyl Alcohol, this worked great!"

"For my new double basin stainless steel sink, there was a slight gap between it and the countertop. My plumber suggested this sealant. Even though the tube says 'translucent,' it dried transparent enough to be unnoticeable. I had plenty of product left to seal multiple sinks!"

"I had a water leak in my headlamp and after the first attempt, it still leaked. On my second try, I applied a steady bead across the top, and it worked like a charm. No more leaks!"

"As a newbie in home improvement, I wasn't sure how to caulk my tub, but after watching some YouTube videos, I figured it out. I scraped off all the old caulk, applied painter's tape for clean lines, and used the Polyseamseal Tub and Tile. It was straightforward—just open and squeeze! After applying, I used my wet finger to smooth it out and removed the tape immediately. I waited 72 hours for it to dry and then added Sashco sealants Clear Lexel adhesive caulk for extra protection, which turned out beautifully. Now, I have perfectly white edges around my tub, and it has held up well for over four months."

"Living in a rent-controlled apartment, I needed a quick solution for my tub. I didn't want to deal with a traditional caulk gun, so this product was ideal for my situation. Although getting the last bit out of the tube can be tricky, it sealed well. I learned that applying the caulk deeper into the crack is essential for effectiveness. This one-time-use product did the job for me, and I appreciate not having to store a bulky caulk gun."

"I needed an adhesive caulk for outdoor use, and after trying several options, this product worked wonderfully even with harsh weather conditions. PolySeamSeal has always been my go-to because it's a polyurethane caulk that withstands UV light, unlike latex. I'm glad I found it, even though it's becoming harder to find!"

"This stuff really works for my shower trim. Easy to open and use, and it only took a small amount to fix the peeling paint. Cleanup was simple too; it washed off my fingers easily."

"At nearly 70, I find this product to be the best in my experience. Application is simple, it looks great, and seals perfectly. DAP is a reliable choice."

"I use this product to restore my garden sculpture. Low odor is a plus, but I still wear a mask and gloves. The consistency is perfect for application, and it dries quickly. I've tried others, but this one is the best for me."

"I found this adhesive to be perfect for putting up panels over brick walls. It works well on almost any surface, making it my go-to for difficult projects. I definitely recommend it!"

"When I needed to stick some old, thick linoleum back down, I chose this Gorilla construction adhesive. It exceeded my expectations and held strong, fixing the bubble effectively. I highly recommend it!"

"I was really disappointed with my purchase. I attempted to use the adhesive just a few days after receiving it, but it was completely solidified. This was frustrating and left me stuck in the middle of my project."

"I really like this product! It was super easy for me to use. I have an old drafty house, and I went around sealing up 21 windows that had drafts. It made a huge difference. It dries quickly and so far, it is leakproof. I highly recommend it."

"Initially, I was a bit skeptical about this caulk since others I've tried were just okay. However, I decided to give it a shot despite being a little pricier. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was to avoid using a caulking gun. The flow is adjustable, and it worked just as well after I capped it for later use. I will definitely buy this again!"

"I had never done caulking before, but I decided to give this a go for my bathtub. After removing the old caulk, I found that the Flex Caulk worked really well. The key is to keep a steady motion while applying it; otherwise, it can get a little messy. Overall, I am very pleased with how it turned out!"
