Hi,
I did what you suggested. I bought some tub and tile sealer at Wal-
Mart ... I don't have it in front of me so I can't tell you the brand.
I basically did what you suggested, and it seemed to be okay, except a
week later, the new sealant is totally wrinkled and cracked and came
out of the cracks.
No idea why.
Poor quality sealant?
I'm pretty sure I applied it correctly. And I let it sit for two days
after applying it to let it dry thoroughly.
