Repairing the outer board of my tub
-
Stacy | BlakeHillHouse on Jun 06, 2015Does the joint go back together if you sit on top of it? I cannot tell if it is permanently warped or just bent. I would ask about the proper adhesive at Lowe's or Home Depot. Then, I should shoot the adhesive in that space, and stack very heavy items on top to press it back together. Unfortunately, you cannot use a clamp there. Once the adhesive is dry, apply a thin line of caulk to keep moisture from seeping inside. Before you start this job, make sure it is all very dry. Adhesive won't stick if it is wet, and you don't want to try to seal up a moldy space.Helpful Reply

Stacy | BlakeHillHouse on Jun 06, 2015One more thing. If the joint cannot go back together, I would still seal that up with caulk. Since that separation is so large, you could use something like this first: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sashco-Sealants30251Pre-Caulking-Filler-Rope-Backer-Rod-1-4-X100-FILLER-ROPE/38472696. It is important to seal it up after it is dry completely. This will prevent mold and/or the break down of the wood frame that holds the tub.Helpful Reply
