  • I installed some Magic Caulk around a tub today, it was hard to get it to fit around the curves. See what you think!

    I got the caulking tape for my toilet. It helps a lot when you see somebody do it first. This video was helpful. I was procrastinating all day. I didn't want to go through issues. But suddenly, I just did it. It went great!! Only on the round curbs was challenging. Hope it doesn't unglue. The hubby put the caulking glue a bit messy as time went by it gathered dirt and just was bad looking. When I got it, he said, " it was my deal" 😅. Let's see how well this goes spending the money!!

      Smart! The key is to remove all the old stuff first, then only use a small bead, wet your finger when you smooth it out. Good luck!

      @@horsleyretirementadventure6443 Hi - I have a question. I live in a very old APT bldg - and recently had
      a friend re-caulk the old porcelain bathtub that is ancient. In any case, that was just finished about 13 hrs ago and it has cracks in it already (the gap in the joint was kinda big greather than 1/2 inch). I can't go through recaulking with silicone again (for health reasons). Would you advise using Sealant caulking tape to just overlay the "new caulk" - after it has another 12+ hrs to dry? Please advise. Thank you so much. I want to take a bath :*(

    • @horsleyretirementadventure6443
      @horsleyretirementadventure6443  Před rokem +2

      Did your friend remove the old caulk first? Also for tubs you use caulking specific for tubs/showers and they have some that drys faster. If it’s just small cracks you’re most likely safe to take a bath without getting it wet. This magic caulk is okay but if you have a lot of curves to go around it’s better to use regular caulk, but the correct kind. Sure wish we had pictures to see what it looks like. Last think, caulk should never crack so I’m assuming he used the wrong stuff.

      @@horsleyretirementadventure6443 Hi Paul. Thank you for replying. Yes the old corroded caulk was removed. We used DAP KWIK tub and tile silicone caulk for the entire perimeter of the old Tub. and within hours the length of the Tub seam was cracking. The bathtub drain clogs up easily and Ive been cleaning like a nut trying to get off
      any skinned over excess caulk on the rounded ledges of the old porcelainn tub (from the caulking job yesterday at 12:00pm EST) - as it can easily get crumbly once the bath faucet is turned on.

    Thanks for the video! I bought this being hopeful. I have to remove the caulk job I did because.. it turned out terrible. I honestly don't like the way this looks though. Oddly, my Magic Peel & Stick Caulk "Tub and Wall" appears to be roughly half the width of what is shown in this video. Still, there is a gap between the adhesive and the top of the rubber material which I can't imagine would be good long term.

    One piece of the surround is bowing out. I tried using that Loctite from Home Depot, but it just popped out again. Maybe this tape will hold it in place and would look better than duct tape.

    • @horsleyretirementadventure6443
      @horsleyretirementadventure6443  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I would not use it, if you have a leak around a toilet it usually means you need to change the wax ring. You don’t caulk around toilets.

  • @kerriwadsworth196

    I dont get it. If the caulk is the sticky, tan colored stuff on the one side, what is the plastic or rubber white part for? I get pull the clear film side off, stick to surface, then what? Leave the white part on? That really isnt caulking then, its just gluing the white part down. Im returning this.

    Sure. Looks great at first, but within a month it will start pulling away, water gets inside and behind it. Waste of time and money. No matter how well you clean the old chalk away, and clean to perfection, and do all the correct prep, it will turn out as a very disappointing product.
