Byggmax indoor sealant/latex sealant!!

[byggaut2005]

Want to warn about Byggmax's cheap latex caulk. It costs around 10kr.
It dries after 8 weeks and no longer fills cracks of 1 mm.
Recommend you to look for another interior caulk!!

Anyone else have similar experiences with Byggmax latex caulk??

You get what you pay for... I would recommend buying "märkessilikon." Sure, it costs 40-60 kr... But so much better quality on the items.

 

[byggaut2005]

So true.
I get a little annoyed that they sell such junk.

Verktygsboden Sika "latexfog" 27 kr. Was really good.

I have used lots of latex sealant from byggmax and haven't had any problems with them, dries and can be painted over after a day.

I must agree with the previous speaker, I only wish I had "discovered" byggmax latexfog earlier...

I have shopped at byggmax maybe 6-7 times... NEVER again... Everything I've bought there has been rubbish... I bought lekablock once... The size varied by up to a cm from block to block.... The ones we bought from finja were almost exactly the same size every single one.. Even if I needed something on a Sunday, I would leave it until Monday when I can go to the store I usually shop at.

I think Bygg-Max is great, and I am a loyal customer there. They have definitely contributed to lower prices on building materials for us Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts, I think.

Regarding latex caulk, I have successfully used a number of cartridges of latex caulk bought at Ge-Kås in Ullared for 6.95 per cartridge. Works great. So, I don't think the price is always decisive.

Can agree that they have contributed to lower prices on building materials.. Here where I live, there's a company that imports quality goods and sells at prices just slightly above Byggmax.. Sure, they don't make much on each beam or bale of insulation.. But they sell so much that they profit from quantity.

How is the quality of the goods sold at Cheapy compared to Byggmax?

I don't have a Byggmax here, but 10km to Cheapy

Nah, still rubbish.

 

[Miles]

No, still junk.

Well, it's insanely cheap so you wonder ...

Biltema's akrylfog then for 20 pengar ..

 

[John J]

Have used Hornbach's cheap one for 11:- and it works just as well as Bostic's for 50:-

 

[Miles]

Where do you buy Hornabachs?

I've personally been using a tube of Biltema's acrylic for the last year, but I'm not a specialist in the area ... it's still in place where I put it anyway!

Also haven't had any issues with byggmax latexfog.
