    Question.....

    stress cracks or caulk failure....

    the poly series of caulks rated fer the job by PL would be a good call...

    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

    WOW!!! What a Ride!

    Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

    Generally one uses a silicone bathtub caulk for showers. Getting the joint clean and dry first is critical -- don't just smear new caulk over the old.

        I mainly use that stuff but there is different varieties.

        Tub & tile what I use mostly I would not use in an area that gets pounded by water.Do you look to the government for an entitlement, or to GOD for empowerment. BDW
