The caulking on our shower just peels off. The stuff that the manufacturer used peeled off, we used some white bathroom caulk and it just peeled off. Wondering what types of caulking or silicone others have used that stays put, looks decent and keeps things sealed?

Thanks for the help.

We used a DAP indoor/outdoor product that says it stays flexible. With the changes in temp, we decided that it had to be indoor/outdoor, not just bathroom caulk.

You need to thourouly clen the area where the caulking is to be applied first. Even a little soap will make this an impossible job. Be sure to use the DAP that has silicone in it.

We've used clear silicone with good success. Cleaned area w/ alcohol 1st.

I believed I heard that marine grade silicone is great...

3M 5200 is good stuff, if a little pricey.

I just installed a glass shower door about 3 weeks ago to replace my stock shower curtain. I sealed everything with clear silicone. We have used it several times and everything is sealed very well with no peeling or leakage - in fact it is very difficult to get it off even if you try. And it looks very clean, you can hardly see it. I've used it on many other projects before including my boat and it always has worked great.

Our shower is fiberglass and I found that marine silicone sealant works well.
