Product Information

DAP’s White Alex Plus Caulk features a special formula bolstered by added silicone for additional water resistance. The purpose of this formula is to create a waterproof product that also accepts paint well and dries in 30 minutes. Without it, the gradual build-up of water could lead to costly and dangerous problems such as flooding, rotten floorboards, and considerable mould. Any sign of mold or mildew on or around shower caulk is a sign that water can be getting through. Clean it thoroughly and evaluate the existing caulk to see if it needs replacing, taking proper safety precautions when removing the moldy caulk. Q. How do you prevent mold in shower caulking?

To defend your shower or tub against these threats, the garden-variety latex caulk commonly used on drywall, window frames, and wooden doors simply won’t cut it. The best caulk for the shower or tub has special properties that keep it pristine and structurally intact in the unique environment of the bathroom. Set Up Your Sealant Gun -Grab those work gloves - you’ll need to keep your hands protected from here on out. This stuff is a nightmare to get off! Once you’re ready, take your safety knife and - after removing the nozzle - carefully cut off the tip of your silicone sealant. Then carefully insert the canister into your sealant gun. Attach the nozzle and you’re good to go! Already have a bath installed? Replacing old or mouldy sealant can provide your bathroom with a fresh boost, while also reassuring you that your tub is still watertight. Adding the finishing touch to your bathroom with a quality sealant is highly recommended. Without using a sealant, you’ll leave areas exposed to moisture, which can then lead to water damage and bacteria growth. Bathroom sealants provide a defence against water penetration in areas prone to high humidity or moisture, making them suitable for applications such as showers, baths and many other applications. Whether you are reapplying a sealant or installing new bathroom fittings, a water-tight seal is crucial to prevent water damage.A silicone sealant on the other hand is the better choice for a bathroom because it provides a waterproof barrier against moisture. However, due to the moisture-repelling property of silicone, it means that it can’t be painted over. Why did they not fill the corner with grout? Are they expecting relative movement between those walls? For overall strength and see-through stealth, Gorilla Clear Caulk is hard to beat, thanks to its silicone formula and quality. However, for small repairs, grab a tube of GE Advanced Silicone Caulk for its convenience and quality.

Using a safety knife, gently cut the old sealant and scrape it away with a screwdriver until you have removed as much as possible. Use your finger to rub the remaining strands off or use white spirit/turpentine. Next, use an old cloth and rub it over the strands to remove the rest. Time for Tape -Now it’s time to apply two lines of masking tape. One along the edges of the bath, and one along the wall/tiles - leaving only the gap that you wish to seal visible. This will ensure that any excess silicone can be easily peeled away, while also giving you a clear guide to where you’re applying the sealant.The Finishing Touches -Here’s the magic part. If you’re applying sealant for the first time, you may be concerned to find that you’ve created uneven, bobbly lines. This is completely normal - silicone won’t come out picture perfect regardless of how gently you pull the trigger of your sealant gun. Take your seal smoother (or a wet fingertip if you’re feeling confident!) and - at an angle - glide along your lines of sealant to smooth them. Collect any excess silicone using paper towels or kitchen roll.
