Which sealent should I use? by island_hopper2 http://www.help-help.org/i-need-to-seal-in-the-floor-in-my-bathroom-to-make-it-water-proof-which-sealent-should-i-use/#comment-3152 island_hopper2 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:43:21 +0000 http://www.help-help.org/i-need-to-seal-in-the-floor-in-my-bathroom-to-make-it-water-proof-which-sealent-should-i-use/#comment-3152 The product you are looking for is called "kitchen & Bath" Silicone caulk. It is waterproof, and mold and mildew resistant. Put it everywhere that will be exposed to water. Around tub, toilet, sink. Apply it and then you can use your finger to make a nice smooth bead (it washes off easily). Just make sure you let it dry before exposing it to moisture. They make different shades of it, as well as clear, but most people used plain White. Hope that helps. The product you are looking for is called “kitchen & Bath” Silicone caulk.

My thoughts: Do not patch the underlayment seams unless you have gaps. Underlayment seam "show though" is almost always the patch cracking and pushing up when the underlayment swells from spreading a bunch of adhesive that introduces a lot of moisture to the floor. I have had seams show that I've patched, but never a seam show that I just sanded smooth, if it needed it. Also, for small areas, a clever installer can place underlayment seams under vinyl grout lines. I’m a 21 year installer. My thoughts:

Also, there is no chance of foot and knees print indentation in the wet glue as well as he fact that spray adhesive dries pretty mush instantly, so you can put back appliances and table and chairs right away. When your done, the floor is ready to be used. With all the new fiber floors with roller applied pressure sensitive adhesive, its a non issue @MrDarinWarren
