Dunno that was almost a year ago regarding mfr. Got it at Lowes. Was just
looking for the ASTM recommended. Believe it was 920. I have aluminum
frame window in the garage. Not sure about vinyl, and afraid of it due to
its potential to burn, rip, tear, and give.

Regarding that window, I used a thick tar-base rolled sheet (shiny
appearance) under the window. Under the sill, I used the material and
lapped it over beneath to the studs, about a foot draping below. Wrapped
the top and sides of the windows with standard #15 felt (tar)paper after
that. Similar heavy material over the personnel entry door and its sides.
After setting the door and window, I used poly isosomething material on the
entire wall. Its an insulation material with aluminum on both sides. Then,
put the Hardie lap siding over that. All was manually nailed to avoid
damage. Then double coated manual painting to finish it off and seal.

Hey

I think you'll find Geocel products will do the trick for you Spanky.
I've used them over 20 years and have no complaint. The Pro Flex is is
the best of the best, and the ProColor can match your windows color.

If you want some extra flexable caulk try the Pro Flex RV.
Hope this helps
Ron
