I'm in the process of removing the old caulk from my shower stall so I can re-caulk it. Anybody have any experience with the PVA caulks such as Loctite 2 in 1 tub & tile and /or Dap Kwik Seal Plus. I'm open to all input.

I used silicone and had decent results, but even the ones with the mildew and mold guarantees still get mold and mildew embedded in them within a year or two especially in a shower stall.

I have no experience with the Locktite you are asking about, but they do make some damn good shite when it comes to sealants and adhesives.

Geocel

This company makes some awesome products. It dries quick and last forever.

i was just coming to post a similar thread.

grout is coming loose in the corner/edges of my shower and was looking for suggestions as to the best caulk/sealer to run up and down the inside edges.

I'm sure that's a great product but not for use in shower stall.

You want 100% silicone. You can get sanded and/or color matched if you want to spend a little more money to have the silicone match the grout.

Go to the manufactures web site. It's not made for baths or showers. It's a great roofing sealant.

Use silicone to caulk the glass/frame/doors. If you have to re-caulk the tile corners you can get sanded color match caulk so it looks like the grout.
