Swanstone SI-1003-040 Silicone Caulk Installation Kit, 10.3 Oz, Bermuda Sand

I usually don't bother with reviews but because of all the negative reviews I wanted to offer my success story. Just moved in to a new house and the shower needed new caulk. The previous owner left me a dried out tube of RDPro silicone sealant with Swanstone and Cornflower written on it. The printed color on the tube said Sienna though. That lead me to this product and despite the negative reviews of being the wrong color, dried out, or a damaged tip, I decided to order anyway. The brand that showed up is Premier Building Solutions Xtra Bond 250 Silicone Sealant. It was the exact right color (tube also had Sienna printed on it) and not dried out. The inner package from Swan said it was packaged a few months ago so the sealant is new. The tip was a screw on tip so not bent. I think they must have switched to a new supplier and all the issues that others have had in the past have been addressed. Couldn't be happier.

A great product. Was reasonably priced and exactly what I was looking for.

This is just what I was looking for. The color isn't marked on the tube but it was a correct match.I don't think it can be stored after opening, it seems to dry out quickly.

This crap was not only a much darker color than advertised (Swanstone Tahiti Blue)it was extremely old too. It never dried/cured. It never even became less than tacky! I had to spend 2-3 hours removing this crap once I realized it was never going to dry. Beware!! There have been several bad reveiw about this product. STAY AWAY FROM IT!!

Swan are currently sending out Xbond 250 "Matrix Neutral" in lieu of the pictured product and its a high quality 100% silicone product that is designed to blend with Bermuda Sand and Tahiti Matrix. Good results, product in good condition and no issues with being dried out.

When I first installed a Bermuda Sand Swanstone tub surround in the 1990s, Swanstone offered matching caulk labeled under their own brand. When we replaced the surround in 2015 (due to a remodeling), I ordered caulk from Home Depot and got this "RDPro" caulk in "Sienna" - it wasn't packaged in Swanstone labeling and I thought it was wrong. But no, it turned out that this was the correct caulk.I had not been terribly impressed with the quality of the RDPro caulk, as it was thick and did not smooth well. I later realized that this was because the caulk was old and dried out. As many reviewers here have experienced, old caulk is being sold to customers and this leads to bad results.I wanted a new tube, and ordered here instead (seller was "Bath1"). I received a sealed box with a Swanstone label that said "Bermuda Sand", but inside, the caulk was labeled "Gray Granite" which was obviously wrong. I contacted the seller and they promptly sent me a new tube, also in a box labeled Bermuda Sand, but the tube itself was properly "Sienna". Also like a lot of other reviewers, I found that the manufacturer packaging allows the tube to damage the nozzle during shipment, since the box is not quite long enough to hold the tube lengthwise. When the box is bumped/tossed/etc., the nozzle is forced to bend. Luckily in my case the damage was minimal and the seal intact.This tube seemed fresh and the caulk flows very well. A marked improvement over what I had before. The color does match the current Swanstone "Bermuda Sand" color, though I note with annoyance that Swan has changed the material color over the years. The older color was somewhat more gray. I have samples of the old and new surfaces and you can see the difference. In the remodel, I had to buy a new sink as the old sink (the 1990s Bermuda Sand) no longer matched the tub surround.My advice is to not blindly accept what comes in the box. Swan is obviously mislabeling or mispackaging some of the caulk, and what you get may not be what was intended. Also if the tube is damaged in transit, ask the seller for a replacement.

Send the wrong color. This was a re-caulk job on a Swanstone shower enclosure that I had installed over 10 years ago. Old caulk was getting a little bit discolored in places, so decided it was time to re-caulk. Removed old caulk, opened new tube, and started to caulk. It was white, not Bermuda Sand as ordered. Had to use it to replace old caulk so now the color doesn't match. No point in returning an open tube. I'm a very unhappy customer. Where can I find a tube of good quality caulk that will match? Should I trust Swanstone & try to re-order? Not sure about that.

This caulking does not appear to be as good quality as the original caulking we got with our swanstone 12 years ago. It does not seem to stick to the material as well. I also wish I had the option of buying the smaller hand squeezed tubes like the ones we had originally.
