You can get it online from home depot, lowes, or even ebay or amazon. Just google "alex caulk" to find
some. You can also buy it in the actual stores. Home depot, lowes, ace hardware, any home improvement
place will probably do. Walmart sells it the cheapest and they don't have any shipping so I'd recommend
it from there. I'd also only get a few at a time. Alex takes a while to fully cure so you can always drop by
the store as you run out rather than buying a whole bunch of them and possibly not even getting to use
them all.

It's cheaper by the case ('contractor pack'). It's probably safe to get a case (12 tubes) to start. Two may even be safe, but I'd have to check on that.

A few more questions, :D Does it dry clear? Also, how to you spread it? What can you use for a scale pattern?
