Caulk fails when the joint is too wide for the bead or the surface is not listed as compatible. I look at the physical gap and the material type before selecting a tube.
On the Amazon page, verify the recommended joint width and the specific surfaces listed in the description. Do not guess based on color alone; match the technical specs to your project.
