OATEY O25605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Oatey Hercules Plumbers Caulk paintable acrylic or is it silicone?
It's a siliconized acrylic-latex caulk, model 25605. That means it handles like latex caulk, tools and cleans up easily, and carries some of the flexibility of silicone. It stays flexible, is waterproof once cured, and won't harden in the tube between jobs.
2) Can I use plumbers caulk around a tub, shower base or sink where it stays wet?
That's what the Hercules white plumbers caulk is built for. It's extremely mildew-resistant and waterproof, and it resists shrinkage and won't crumble, so a bead around a tub surround, shower base or sink rim won't pull away and open a gap. Oatey states a 25 year life expectancy on it.
3) How long before I can run water after caulking with Oatey 25605?
The caulk goes tack free in 1 hour. That's surface set, not full cure, so it's enough to keep dust and hands off the bead but give it longer before you flood the joint or put a fixture back in heavy service.
4) Will plumbers caulk shrink and crack in a joint that moves, like a tub that flexes when filled?
The Hercules formula is specified to resist shrinkage, stay flexible and not crumble, which is the failure mode on a tub that deflects between empty and full. A rigid or shrinking caulk opens a hairline at the rim and water gets behind the surround; this one is meant to move with the joint.
5) Is this the right caulk for a multi-family maintenance stock or a counter display?
25605 is the tube display pack of Hercules Plumbers Caulk, so it's the format distributors and supply counters carry for over-the-counter sales, and it's the same format maintenance techs keep on the truck. Each tube is 5.5 oz white siliconized acrylic-latex, listed at 0.675 lb.
