What's you secret sauce / technique on sealing tile penetrations..
The only 2 locations where I use chaulk in the bathroom is around the window and just under the top of the valve shower handle trim.
I lean on the less is more camp with silicone.....and have always grouted my changes of plane with no issue...
Silicone attracts stuff in which eventually where ~gunk~ grows
I'm incorporating grab bars in a wet area. Just short of what everybody does, which is shoot some silicone in the screwhole, I'm not sure what other methods one can employ to mitigate water intrusion. I may just skip the chaulk and just paint the head if the screws with some Hydroban. Afterall, the flange cover will cover it anyway.....
