Hello Wise Old Silicone Sealers,
A professional made a good job of sealing the space between my shower tray and the shower wall tiles. However, it is a new house and I think the tray has settled a bit allowing leaks. My wife tried some repairs but with limited success. Questions are:
1. Can you put too much silicone on? (Some of it just pealed off in large chunks - may not have been sufficiently dry?)
2. Is it okay to put a layer on top of the original if the original is still sound?
3. The tube said to wipe the surface with meths before application. Would this have helped the new surface to stick to the old surface?
4. Any general tips? (Preferably ones which don't involve removing the original filling.)
Many thanks for your kind help.
