Can I put plumbers putty under caulk?
Hello,
I usually put new caulk around my bathtub every 5 years because the caulk develops some mold and turns from white to grey color and many places.
I need to re-caulk the bathtub this year again. The gap between my bathtub and tiles is too deep, so I have to put at least two layers of caulk. It requires a lot of caulk and take more time. Is it possible to put plumbers putty as a first layer and then, on top of it, put the caulk? Is it going to work?
Thank you very much for your answers.
