Having a struggle with life caulk.My paint and primer is not drying on the caulk..Using boat lifes,life caulk,white....<br />Caulking up some seams on my old aluminum starcraft chieftain,not big seams just average amounts of caulk to small amounts,like 1/4 to 3/8 wide and 1/16 to 1/8 thick..<br />First off i cleaned everything up good let it dry and put on the caulk..waited about 2 days and put on a thin coat of interlux precoat primer(2 days was to soon probably) which i have used in other places and it worked great..waited 6 days and the primer was still wet on the caulk seams,so i wiped it off with paint thinner and waited 5 days for more air curing and decided to just try painting over it with interlux brightside 1 part poly enamel..that was yesterday morning,the rest of the paint it dry to touch but on the caulk its still wet..Wierd thing is the caulk feels totally cured i even pulled a little piece out to feel it.What is the problem...Also there is some boatlife caulk i put in another spot the same day in the beginning but didnt paint and its already dry and ive sanded it..Whats happening and what do i have to do to fix the problem..
