Caulk is more flexible.

[The Medway Handyman]

And almost impossible to sand.

[Usenet Nutter]

Exactly ...all right for sealing round edges and stuff but for holes or anything that is likely to need sanding use filler of some sort .

[The Medway Handyman]

This stuff is the mutts nuts

application, no (or vey little) sanding.

[Stuart Noble]

And doesn't stay white IME

[Bruce]

Then paint it. Surely it isn't designed to be left unpainted?

Very strong recommendation on the Wickes website, too. ;-)
