Question from Tanya
I need to do some caulking and have been looking at the MSDS for Elmer’s caulking. There are two products that appear to be less toxic than most other brands. One is the All Purpose White Acrylic Latex and the White Squeeze and Caulk. Has anyone else had any experience with either of these? I have included the links to the MSDS for both. Thank you for any help or advice that you can offer.

Actually both of these look good in comparison to other caulks. All of the hazardous ingredients listed are listed because they are dust hazards for workers who are making the product, but not a hazard for the end user because the dust is bound up with other ingredients. Also the health hazard is rated 1, which is slight. I’m going to look for these next time we need to caulk.
