calking exterior seams
What type calk should I use for calking around windows, doors, connection boxes, etc. Should old calk be removed or can I calk over old calk?

Thanks to all for your input. Looks like Dicor/Proflex are the winners. Will have to order, nowhere close to go pick some up.
When you apply, work small area at a time (skins over quickly), smooth out the bead with your finger. A thin bead goes a long way. Have some mineral spirits and rags handy. Painters tape also helps if you don't want overlap onto sidewalls. Rub a drop or two of dish soap on your finger before working the bead. Makes the bead come out much smoother and keeps caulk off finger.
This learned from my own experience. ;)
