Use Paintable Silicone Caulk for Window Casing
Imprint this in your memory: paintable silicone caulk…
Be sure you buy the right kind of caulk for filling gaps around exterior window casing. You’ll want to make sure that the caulk you buy is both silicone and is paintable.
Not all silicone caulk is paintable; not all paintable caulk is silicone.
Silicone caulk holds up much longer for exterior use than latex caulking. Many homeowners will caulk the casing with silicone and then leave it at that. If you have vinyl siding, that may be the case, since vinyl siding is not exactly paintable.
