It was time to caulk the old shower again - most of this work is prep....spent an hour or more getting everything ready.
I had 1/2 tube of GE's best silicone caulk in the shop - was still flowing, so used it....went on very well.
A day later it had not dried. Two days later it had not dried. I did some googling and it turns out they are serious about expiration dates on these products........
Removed it all - still completely soft, and redid it with a new tube. 5 hours later and it is hard enough to use.
Just a word to the wise - sometimes being TOO frugal bites you in the arse.
