i put a tub surround in my bath and after 3 months of use the dap 100% silicon simply pushes off with a slight nudge....so i tried rubberized silicon with same results....it sticks to the tub beautifully but on the surround no luck at all....white high gloss surround , even cleaned it all up with thinner to clear out any oils or soap....still wont grip....my ? is what other measures can i take to get the silicon to hold on to the surround? even scuffed it in one spot but hated doing that....what are my choices in making my tub and surround leak free.....?
