I have a cooktop mounted into a ceramic tile countertop. I have
caulked it several times but after several months the caulk comes
loose. I clean the surfaces with detergent and then with rubbing
alcohol. I use silicone caulk.
Is there a better way for me clean the surfaces? Is there a caulk
that would be better for this use? Thank you in advance for all
replies.
rubbing alcohol sometimes has traces of oils in them. try using acetone
instead.
I have some 70 percent and some 99 percent rubbing alcohol. Is the
99 percent less likely to have oil in it? Is there any way I can
test my rubbing alcohol to see if it has oil in it?
Am I correct in assuming that nail polish remover would not be good
for this use?
Good grief! Oil in rubbing alcohol? Can't be enough to matter. I keep
denatured alcohol on hand for solvent/degreasing. Nail polish remover
normally does have some oil to counteract the drying effect on nails;
it's not a great solvent to use on paintable surfaces.
