Sealing a hardwood floor around the tub
I installed hardwood floor in my bathroom. It's an Oak floating floor.
The bathroom has a fiberglass tub/shower combination. Where the hardwood hits the tub, there is a small 1/4" gap, and I want to seal it to keep water from getting under the floor when a person exits the tub. I was thinking of a generous amount of silicon caulk in the gap, completely filling it, and then covered with Cove molding attched to the tub with adhesive. Any other ideas out there? Thanks |

Thanks I don't like the molding idea, just because wood doesn't fare well in places like that. But, at least if you tried it and hated it, it would be removable. Sort of. |
Well I figure if a board got wet and swelled up, I can easily snap in
another one, but they need a lot of water on them for a long time for it to penetrate enough to cause swelling, so I'm not worried. |

Usually the area where the shower meets the floor is just sealed with
bathroom caulk made for that purpose. |
