Caulking a Shower

🌟Caulking🌟
Allot some time for this, and don't get discouraged 😊
I know.....easier said than done 😃
So many different tools and methods to choose from 😃
I recommend using the matching 100% silicone version of whatever grout you used
We used Ardex WA Epoxy, so we are going to apply Ardex 100% silicone caulk
It is recommended by the TCNA to caulk all movement joints
I highly recommend to at least do all vertical corners & in this case the ceiling
All call backs that I've ever received were from vertical grout joints cracking
A good caulking gun makes a difference

Always start out small with cutting caulking tube, can always recut
I recommend cutting tip whatever the widest gap is (within reason of course...)
Any standing water will ruin the caulking joint....so be sure its dry
The first joint is the toughest.....and unfortunately I have not found a one-size-fits-all type of caulking tool
Here are my tool recommendations:
Anvil Caulking Tool - https://bit.ly/3NPsyKB
Fake Finger Tools - https://amzn.to/3NEUgK2
Caulking tool assortment - https://amzn.to/3rg3UuY
This is so helpful!
Spray joint with windex or other caulking spray
Don't worry if it doesn't work out....
You can remove caulking & clean with acetone
Let things dry before trying again 👍

Every project has its own set of challenges when it comes to caulking
The amount of grout joints in this one really made thing cumbersome...
