Steve, i have been watching your videos for years and have done two showers of my own and three for friends. You taught me everything. The best part about your videos is the honesty and not the editing of problems. Thanks, and keep them coming.
what really important thing for silicone or urethane - it shouldn't be deep inside gap. Stronger and more flexible joint will be if it glued by "two sides" and not "three". I mean silicon more flexible if it isn't thick and doesn't glued with whole surface. Hard hard tile to caulk...and i don't like round spatula :) because i have to re-caulk after some thorough cleaning.
The problem with using windex or any other water-based product on silicone joint is that first you spray, then you use spatula or other tool which actually slightly spreads out silicone to the sides where the liquid is. Consequently, you will have poor adhesion on both outer edges of the joint because the "spread-out" silicone will not stick to the sprayed areas.
@@pdcro1247 What am I doing wrong then? I used scotch blue tape & made killer straight lines with the double blue tape method for years, You get a great looking caulk joint, then pull the tape off & there's clearly a tape line on both sides that honestly, doesn't look right. I haven't been able to get rid of that non natural looking part of the joint, so I've stopped using the double tape method. I just don't like the look of the outside where the tape was.
