Our gel is antique white...

Are there any.
Hate to hijack the thread, but it got me thinking .
For my tank hatch I used, and put it in an empty caulk tube.
On a piece of scrap, lay it in the sun for a few days and it may just work.

On the sanded grout caulk use a wet sponge to wipe it down after you lay it down.

Funny though, they caulk "back to front" from how i do it! i caulk from right to left and i have a different technique for laying in the caulking.
Of runs plus more force to get the caulking in.

Nonetheless, I'd follow up most vociferously with the hotel and demand that they find the miscreant who jacked your card .
I doubt if it was the hotel, but rather a rogue employee helping himself to your credit card number .

I tend to agree with you, and can't fault them for not knowing, the info I provided was a bit lacking.
I am trying to avoid epoxy, and think a good long term caulk will do the trick. I can't imagine a lot of water in the area, but it will get some.

At the sides it is ok to caulk but at th e head and sill gaps must be left to allow water a path to escape from behind I replace windows in brick houses here ....
Brick is not a barrier to moisture so I'd prefer that the caulk is strategic.

If
it does.
I can either use caulk to
seal the joint (under a large roof overhang) or standard mortar.
The kicker is really "no further.
