Over the last six months I have researched and tested a variety of different caulks and sealants to try on our bat removal and exclusion jobs. The Geocell you have listed was one of the products I tested and found I do not like it. My records show it came out like honey and did not tool well at all. I am also not a fan of paper tubes as they burst easily and if they get wet bad things can happen. I tried other OSI products in the past and disliked them so much I didn't even put them in my latest test. I have not tried the Quad max so I may try that one for completeness.

I've been using solar seal, but I am looking for a product that is available locally. My solar seal supplier that is within 1 day shipping range of me always seems to take two to three days and is never available when I call. Friday was the 2nd day I have called, was transferred to internet/phone sales, did the voicemail routine, and never heard back. Now it's new supplier time. WCS is excellent on price, but is still a three day wait due to distance.

are you guys using silicone on log homes as well? I have. It all depends where though. I've also used foam so it will stain again. They make specialty latex products for log homes. I don't think they'd stain any better than silicone though. But they are a nice buttery color that stands out. That's what the client wanted though...

due to an unfortunate trailer incident today I was forced to clean out the trailer for the most part and reinstall my misdirected shelving unit. in doing so I remembered this post as I was putting things back and grabbed a few different types or sealant/caulk that I use. here are some of the more common ones... and then some of the guns used to apply it.... I use the three on the right the most as I tend to do more log homes than any other type of house. I also use a product by Sashco called log builder. that stuff is awesome. you also have to use a backer rod in conjunction with this stuff even if there is no gap. if some of you are still using silicone or caulk on logs I would suggest getting in a seminar by one of the log home product suppliers- it will benefit you and your customers greatly!

What Jacob said. I used to install gutters and used the Geocel 2300 for sealing end caps, miters, etc.; it's great for that, but would be useless for bat work. Very runny, stringy, and you'll be wearing half of every tube you apply.
