I'm pretty good with caulking but my results with ProFlex were terrible. I applied as small a bead as possible and used my finger (dipped in mineral spirits) to smooth out. It sets up so fast you barely have time to make a single pass.
This application was around my windows and the trim on the outside of the trailer. After about one year I've noticed the ProFlex is already starting to crack.
Also it is a large pain to try to get the old ProFlex off when recaulking. There is no doubt it is the best caulk to use. Wonder what would happen if one just used a good grade of exterior latex caulk??? It has a little flexibility to it, and is easy to apply and remove. Doubt it would last as long but much eaiser to work with.
