We always use caulk with no problems, are you shaving the edges? We run a 5, or a razor along the edges of that junk to get rid of the fuzzies first.

If you have large gaps, due to poor quality wood butchers, then you might have to double back and caulk again.We always use caulk with no problems, are you shaving the edges?
