Hi Guys (and other Gals),
I finished having my totally enclosed 4'x2' shower stall (with tiled ceiling) totally redone but am having a problem.
I used GE Silicone II Bath & Kitchen Caulk to seal joints where the wall tiles meet each other (vertical joints) and also 'tween floor tiles and walls (horizontal joints) but caulk has just come away from all joints after about 2-3 months.
One day I was taking a shower and noticed a strip of it just bowing out from the side wall at the floor joint as the heavy water spray hit it.
I was able to just pick it up and pull it totally away from the floor/wall joint without any effort at all. There is NO space between or at the joints, I think it is mastic (which was used to set all tiles) or grout there.
The caulk was still within the date stamped on tube, 10/06.
I complained to GE but they were no help.
What are my options now. I am afraid if I use the same caulk - it will fail again???
I am afraid to use the shower until I solve this problem and caulk all seams again!
Thank you soo much!!!!
Sincerely,
Cindy
