Vent: Tried that new UV-cure sealant on a big storefront job in Denver and it failed hard

Honestly, I followed the spec sheet to the letter on a 20-foot run of insulated units, but after three days in direct sun the sealant turned brittle and started pulling away. Ngl, I'm back to trusting my old polysulfide method for anything over 10 feet, what's your go-to for high UV exposure areas?

Guess the spec sheet forgot to mention Denver sun is basically a free laser show. I mean, three days? That stuff gave up faster than my willpower at a hardware store. Sticking with polysulfide too, it's boring but at least it doesn't quit on you.

Man, that's just how everything is built these days, isn't it?
