[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t recommend silicone. It is very difficult to work with and much harder to remove the next time it needs to be redone. It also yellows and in my experience is much more prone to mildew. You can’t smooth it with a wet finger because it isn’t water soluble, and you don’t want to get it on your skin (it’s solvent is acetone). You may want to consider latex caulks instead—Dap Kwik Seal is a brand I’ve used with much success. I also strongly recommend taping. I’m an artist and have done a ton of home renovation, (and admittedly picky) but the only way I’ve been satisfied with my tub caulking is when I tape. You also need to cut off the tip of the tube carefully at the correct angle.[/quote] You can smooth silicone with a finger and soapy water. No problem. [/quote]
