Best Answer

Some of the quick drying caulks are ready within 30 minutes. The downside between that and the slower ones is that you do not have as much time to smooth it out. Most require a day or so to dry and heat and fans do not work to accelerate the process.

How do you caulk windows yourself?

Use an exterior window caulk. If you plan to paint over it make sure it is "paintable" caulk. Run the bead of caulk using a caulking gun. You can smooth out the bead with your finger and clean up any residual caulk with a wet rag (this clean uo only works if the caulk is water based...check the tube to make sure it is....it's easier if it is) If you use silicone caulk you can't paint it and you cannot clean up any errors with a wet rag so unless you are real exact in applying the bead I would avoid this type of caulk.
