How long will Perma-Chink last (either on the wall or in the pail) ?
In most cases, chinking has very little maintenance once applied. It certainly isnt something that you have to redo every 5-10 years. When properly applied, it should last the life of your home. There have been many reports that Perma-Chink longevity in a pail surpasses any other sealant. Ive heard of it still being very workable after 7-10 years, or longer. If your intent is to keep a pail for a long period of time, keep it out of direct sunlight and it would be best if it doesnt freeze. When storing a partially used pail, throw in a wet rag or towel and make sure the lid is on airtight.
