newbie question:

The seal between my bathtub and the tile wall is coming undone. I
don't know what type of seal it is, feels like a white "plastic"-like
material.

recommendations for procedure to repair? ... removing old caulk, type
of new caulk/tape to buy, how to apply it?

Thanks -
mike


I bought a silicone bath and tub sealant. I used regular painter's tape to
tape off a small area between tub and wall (when I tried without, it got
sort of messy). Cut a small, diagonal corner off the tip of the tube of
caulk. Run it along the seam. Then use a gloved finger to smooth it out.
There's probably a better way to do this, but this worked for me.
