What is the most suitable type of sealer for the space between your tub and the wall?
Correct Incorrect Silicone and marine sealants offer excellent waterproofing and are recommended for use around toilets, tubs, and sinks. Silicone is great for creating watertight seals between materials that are permanently or semi-permanently joined. For sealing corners, such as between the tub and the wall, consider using poly-sulfide or other marine sealants, which tend to have stronger adhesive properties than silicone. Latex sealants work well for mismatched surfaces.
