[Greenbuilding] caulk vs sound caulk

[Clarke Olsen]

Don't hesitate to use backing bead: it's a soft round foam, available in many diameters, which you press into the space to be caulked.
Troweling off the caulk face with the appropriate finger, the backing gives your caulk the desired hour-glass profile.

I want to seal up some of the drafts the infrared scans revealed--as well to keep out critters.. Should I use sound caulk, which never hardens and is inexpensive, or polyurethane caulk--my current favorite (but it's expensive)?
