Exterior Paint and Sealant for Windows

Thought would get the Mulco Supra Expert but since Rona close by it seems Mulco Flextra just as stretchy. Just depends if you want super or extra properties [see below]!

Try some practice joints. The Mulco isn't quite like the Alexplus most people are used too.

I've never worked with Mulco thermoplastic sealants before. What's the cleanup process like? Can water be used or is mineral spirits or other chemical needed?

Clean with mineral spirits. You also aren't supposed to "tool" the caulk after its applied, but i don't know how doable that is in practice.

Hi Guys,

Please let me know if the steps below are correct in order to refinish window frames:

1) Clean all areas: frames, glass, metal frames around windows
2) Remove all old caulk from window frames and glass
3) Remove and scrape off old paint
4) Sand and fill any cracks with wood filler on window frames
5) Apply primer
6) Apply Mulco Flextra around wooden frames and metal, as well as frames and glass window
7) Paint

Can I use Mulco Flextra to seal wooden frames and glass window or you recommend to use window glazing? If you recommend to use window glazing which one would you recommend? I also see in Mulco Flextra specs that it can be used with glass in window frames. What's your opinion?

Please also feel free to add any steps that you think I missed above.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Guys,

I found one widely available window glass in Canada:

Yes that's the one - came here to say that you need to use glazing, it's an oily putty so you want to make it into the bead, lay it into the gap, and push it in with your finger. Then you can run your finger back and forth to make it smooth, let it dry out for a couple days before painting. The other product you linked was for the edges around the window and against the siding on the house.

If you tool it, it will be a big sticky mess of bullcrap.

Tried DAP 33 putty and didn’t like for couple of reasons.
First, I am more used to working with silicone and have tools to work with liquid sealants.
Second, my windows currently have very thin (2-3mm) layer of plastic sealant and I don’t want to create 6-7mm layer with putty.

Is there window glazing that you would recommend that comes in a tube for tube gun and have more liquidity consistency like silicone?

I found something like that in home deport below but just was wondering if you guys can recommend something else
Your text to link here...

Also, I have a feeling that something more liquid will stick and last longer than a putty. I have tried to work putty with my hands to make more workable but still didn’t get it to what I want.

Please let me know.

For the second part, Mulco Pro which is a family of thermoplastic sealants. I think they retail around $18/tube at Timbermart.

How do you typically remove old mulco supra from brick?

Most of it peels off, then ideally we set the window out just a hair to cover the old caulk lines. Otherwise, wire brush or the like.
