Just kicking myself around the place...
Last weekend I spent a half-day installing backer rod and caulking around two dormers and a 30-foot stretch on the back side of the house where new roofing left a gap between the siding edge and new shingles. I carefully selected clear caulk for this---or was sure I had.
Today i went out to check AGAIN to see when it would turn clear. Still white.
So i checked the empty tubes, and one of the four was clear. The others are all white. Someone must have dropped a clear tube into the other box, and i read its label and grabbed four.
MY FAULT for not checking each tube individually. MY FAULT for not seeing it while I was climbing up and down the ladder.
Now I have white goop visible in the gap and on the dark shingles nearly all the way around the damn house. And it's just after noon as I post this, so even getting a picture was tough....one frustration leads to another.
I'm checking options including removing it and re-caulking. If I don't do that, the best idea I have is painting it black.
