Hi again,

the recommended way to apply silicone sealant around the bath is
to fill the bath with water first so it sinks a little - that
way you don't stress the sealant when the bath is filled.

However maximum stress is when the bath is filled to the
overflow with one (or if you are lucky) two people in it.
[Lit candles for effect are considered of negligible additional
weight.]

Therefore logically you should apply silicone sealant with the
bath filled and at least one, preferably two (British Standard)
people in it.

caulking her seals at the time..."

But would it stand up in court?
