Problem caulking around bathtub
A while back I recaulked my bathtub. After clearing away the old
caulk, cleaning all of the surfaces and applying the new caulk, I allowed the caulk to dry for about two days before using the tub again. I thought this would be plenty of time, but the very first time I took a shower the caulk just got soft, pulled away from the wall and I had a botched caulk job on my hands. Thinking I hadn't allowed the caulk long enough to dry, I did the job a second time and this time gave it a whopping five days in which to dry. During this time I used a shower stall on the first floor and did not use the tub I recaulked at all. However, to my amazement and disappointment, the next time I showered the caulk once again got all soft and useless. Has anyone else had this happen? Am I making some sort of stupid mistake and just not seeing it? |
