Clean, recaulk bath surround
I've had some mold in a few areas around the bathtub for months.
I tried industrial cleaner, vinegar, baking soda, alcohol, pumice stone, Magic Eraser and
then finally Clorox Clean Up w bleach. The next day, there wasn't a trace of it.
Now I see some cracks in those areas. I was going to just put some caulk over them.
Then I see for some reason that's a no no - nobody ever says why! I did see a product that you can do
his...Permatex or something. Any experiences with this?

As noted above it's best to cut/pull out the failing caulk and recaulk. You can buy a little time by just caulking the voids but putting a new bead of caulk over the old seldom fares well.
