cracked caulking

I always used Alex plus until a couple years ago when on a couple jobs it completely let go after only a few weeks.

On another note does clear caulk shrink more than white? Been using Dynaflex 230 which goes on white and dries clear.

I am always in the Dynaflex 230, but almost always the white.



I can't say whether I've noticed the clear shrinking more or less, but if I've had cracking problems it's only with the clear.
 
What's the best way to keep caulking from cracking?

Ok, well this thread was really about the paint applied over caulk cracking rather than the caulk itself cracking.


But the best way is to use high quality caulk (I'm sold on Dynaflex 230), and always know that the gaps do need to be filled rather than just covered by a film.
