Does caulk/sealant expire?

The bottom of the cartridge for caulks and sealants has a "Use By" date. This will indicate whether the caulk/sealant is still fresh and usable.

How long does silicone sealant typically take to cure (dry)?

A 3/16′′ bead "usually" cures in 24 hours. The cure time may vary depending on the amount of moisture in the air. The curing process will be slowed if there is a lack of humidity. If the product exhibits curing signs, such as a change in original consistency, it should cure but may take longer than usual. Under cooler or dryer circumstances, caulk may take up to 48 hours to cure.
