Description from the creator

In this video I'm re-siliconing a shower. I used to do a LOT of re-silicone jobs back in the handyman days. This is an old shower that's had many remedial repairs carried out over the years - as a result a lot of the old silicone needs stripped out and re-done from scratch. I'll take you through the whole process in quite a bit of detail. It's all in the prep!
