Adhesive for shower enclosure door
Can anyone recommend an adhesive that attaches a shower
door to a tub? A portion of the installation causes the door to sit directly on the tub. Tub and tile sealer does not hold the door solidly in place. Consequently, after a month or so, water leaks out under the door where the sealer has failed. Anyone solve a similar problem? BTW: I would have to remove the enclosure to add additional adhesive under the shower enclosure, something that I'm hoping not to do. I would prefer to find a adhesive around the edge of the enclosure to hold it in place. |

You can them put a bead of silicone on the edges of the rail to aid water shed. |
