Bath sealant keeps splitting

evans1 · 20 Sep 2004

I put fresh sealant around the bath about 3 weeks ago and it is already splitting and coming away from the bath. Can anyone tell me why,

I removed all traces of the old sealant and cleaned all contact surfaces with sugar soap.

Cheers

Did you fill/half fill the bath first to allow for movement?

hmmm,,,yes...and is the to much movement in the first place ?
