granite caulk

10 years ago

hi all,

we installed our granite countertop - volga blue - in the kids bath. we are not putting in a back or sidesplash and i just want to know which is the best to caulk it. 100% silicone caulk in clear or a coloured one. our walls are a light bluish gray.
thanks

Anything but clear/shiny. Our plumber installed our white toilet on gray porcelain and used the clear stuff. It catches the light in such a way that it made the toilet look like it was leaking around the bottom. We had to scrape that all out and I am about to caulk it with gray to match the floor.
