The previous owner used white and it looks horrible. If I use clear i suspect the opening between the tub and trhe fiberglass wall shower side where it meets the tub will show |

Nothing would look worse than blue caulk that is not an EXACT match for the color of the tub. |

A real ceramic tile installers store will carry it. Here is an
example: "http://www.installersstore.com/cgi-bin/INSstore.pl?user_action=category&category=Colored% 20Caulk" You can also buy DAP or similar white and have it custom tinted with universal colorant at a good paint store. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

You have a blue tub with blue paneling caulked with white caulk and another one blue with colored caulk? Mine is blue tub with blue panels caulked with a brittle white caulk applied and trimmed, it appears, with thumbs at best. |

Open the back end of the tube. Tint. Seal the back end with
tape. Been done this way for well over 20 years. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Tom" wrote in message ... "DanG" wrote in message ...
