Should I be worried? Tube says "shower in three hours;" I finished

Huge beads of silicone will often shrink and cause gaps. This is a
drawback to silicone.

That said, it should be dry by now. I have had brand new tubes of
kitchen and bath caulk (non-silicone) that would never set, not even
two weeks later.

If it is an old tube it may not cure, look for an expiration date
