Hi there,
I didn't know where to post, so I posted here. I recently removed some old sealant caulking from between my counter tops and my kitchen wall due to nasty yellowing and cracks (The previous home owners were brutal...)
After I removed the sealing, there is now a good half inch gap. It's as if they used some of rubber seal below the caulking. Is there a name for this? I can't use normal sealant yet because the gap is too big.
Any ideas what to use?
There's a kind of foam rope product available that'll fill the excess gap. Go to your local harware store, and ask there. Different radii for different gaps. Tom
If you ultimately want to use caulk, you can just use a piece of foam weatherstrip of the right width to close the gap so you can put caulk on top. However, I don't think a half inch of caulk is gonna look very good. You may want to consider some kind of trim molding.
