Question 17

I believe This AFM caulk was in freezing temperature during shipping because it’s really hard to push out of the tube and it’s still tacky after days. Not a huge deal because it’s under floors, but will it still do the trick to stay in place? I'll go ahead and use the rest of them since I don't have the time to order from you this time and get quality products and quality service. I will next time! View answer
