I find th silicone does not last and it peels off...any answers out there?How do i make my bath tub sealant white..grout or silicone?
Get a tube of while caulk. Grout is for in between tiles. Silicone is more of an adhesive then a seam filler.How do i make my bath tub sealant white..grout or silicone?
you should use silicone to seal the tub and tile together. If it is the case that you have a large gap between the tile and tub, you can use grout to fill in, and then seal with silicone. Silicone come in various colors. Silicone would peel because the surface it was going on was wet, or that it did not get to cure properly before the shower,tub was used.
You have to remove your old caulk first before you recaulk. Caulk has a tendency to not stick to already CURED caulk. Then buy white caulk and re do it. Wipe around the caulking work area with some rubbing Alcohol, it will stick a lot better and longer
Get the old silicone off and clean the area real good and then apply tub silicone and it should be ok. You are not getting the tub clean and dried enough for it to stick.
