Trempro 635

After an extensive web search, trying to find a good price for vulkem, I went to a local hardware store ,that's a half mile from my house, I found the stuff for $6.50 a tube. That is cheaper than anywhere I found on the web, and I didn't have to pay shipping. I never expected to be able to find it around here.

I really like that stuff. It sure seems to hold up well to our Tennessee heat and humidity.

Home Despot's search function seems to work almost as well as the one here on the forums.
Can you supply a link to it?

Yes, the Home Depot search function is a slacker. HD website historically does not carry all their products, but have been improving over the last few years. I even tried google search on www.homedepot.com and no hits for Vulkem.

Now since I needed to go there yesterday anyways... I just asked the store manager. He said that Vulkem 116 (constructsion SKU of 636) is not a "normal" part for unit sales and they typically just sell it by the case. However, several/most of the stores in the NW sell it as individual tubes due to it's popularity, but he's not sure about the other regions.

I noticed that these tubes don't have a UPC barcode (it on the case/box) so the checker has to look up the part when you buy them.

That said, they do have all the colors, including gray.

I found it on their website today, but it said they don't sell it and won't ship it to California, amongst a number of other states. There are a bunch of older, high VOC paints, varnishes, etc. that we can't get here. I've known a lot of people who would go to Reno to get "the good stuff".

The correct sealers can be obtained from a parts stocking Airstream dealers in California.

Rumor has it that California is working on a filter that all humans must wear, by law.

So that when we pass gas, it's filtered into the atmosphere.

I would hope they had. I actually made my post for other guys like me who are searching Airforums today and reading old posts. It was an update for those of us in the golden state.

Home Depot misspells the --Trempro-- name as "Tremco." The illustration shows the brand name of Vulkem 116. My local store shows as having this for sale at $5.97 per 10.1 ounce cartridge.

Tremco 10.1-oz. White Vulkem 116 Polyurethane Sealant-7103009 at The Home Depot

Looking for sealants on line is worse than buying an airline ticket or renting a car.

Does anyone know if the Vulkem 116 is the appropriate sealing product for windows, awning joints etc? I have heard the DyMonic 100 is the new AS used product.

This is obviously a highly contentious discussion - Vulkem/TremPro 635 or 626/ParBond/Acryl R Seal/Dymonic.....what is the right choice?

There is also a threads called
"Sealant Summary" that discusses the many uses for the varying different products.
