Seal a bath tub or shower     

The wet, humid conditions in a bathroom, coupled with the use of cleansing products in tubs and shower stalls, can lead to caulk failure and mold growth. You can prevent this by waterproofing your tub or shower with silicone.

Project Time: Approximately 30 minutes

Complexity:

Gather your materials.  

You'll need: a caulk remover, rubbing alcohol, a clean cloth, GE Silicone II Kitchen and Bath with BioSeal, a caulking gun, and a caulk tooling device (this could be a spoon or just your wet finger).

  1. Apply caulk remover to soften the caulk.

  2. Scrape out the old grout or caulk using the knife.

  3. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol.

  4. Fill the tub with water so it pulls the tub to its furthest distance from the wall.

  5. Lay a bead of GE Silicone II Kitchen & Bath sealant along the joint.

  6. Immediately use the tooling device to smooth the sealant.

  7. Allow the sealant to cure (dry) for 24 hours before using the tub or shower.
