I believe this week had an idea that u did a shower caulking very easy. I have been taking a shower downstairs for 8 months because I can't find an easy and quick way to do this project. I forgot and deleted this project. TKS

Remove the old caulk, tape with painter's tape to make a straight line, just above and below where you want your caulk. You can buy caulk in a squeeze tube if you can't or won't use a caulk gun. Be sure to buy a silicone one meant for showers. Keep a damp rag handy for you hands and any mistakes. Smooth it with your finger and let dry completely.
Make sure the area is clean and dry. Remove any old caulk. Use a caulk gun with caulk made for the bathroom. After you have put on the bead of caulk, use a caulk finishing tool to create a smooth seal.
