Nine months after my original post I finally have the tub installed. I'm pleased with the installation although I have some variation in the gap I need to caulk caused by the mud bed/tile not being perfectly in plane and some out-of-plane of the tub lip. Biggest gap is perhaps 3/16".
Here's my question: I can probably caulk this directly, since the tub lip is 3/8" thick or so, but is there anything I should consider putting in this gap to provide a backing for the caulk?
