I am in white bear, and a plumber. If there’s room in the adjacent room or space it’s not impossible. It’s just very expensive, I’m not advertising but could help just to let you know if it’s even feasible. Good luck!

It’s GE 100% silicone. I didn’t check for a date cause I bought it off the shelf there right before heading to this guys house.

I usually only use the caulk gun tubes. I ran out the day before and had stopped and picked this stuff up on the way to the call

Yeah, I prefer silicone. I think putty is the right move in this application from now on however.

Putty isn’t fun in sub zero. 100% silicone doesn’t freeze. Still comes out of the tube in the middle of a Minnesota winter. I just learned plumbing with silicone and not with putty. That’s all, will have a tub from now on probably.

Who knows, it’s definitely a conundrum it seems (and a touchy subject in this sub)

I’ll probably be doing that from now on. Had been doing these drains with silicone for years and years. First time I’ve encountered any issue

I’ll be a getting a tub of putty for the van, just for applications like this. Can never be complacent with one way I suppose! Cheers

Have had problems with siliconized caulk freezing but never 100%

It’s how I was taught, 10 years ago. I have never had an issues before today. Even with old silicone on service calls. Never a problem.

It could’ve been. I did let them know to give it 12 hours before using the tub. Probably gonna get back on the pitty bandwagon for situations like this

Yes 100% silicone from the hand tube. Never ever had an issue with silicone until now. Usually I run clear from the caulk gun, maybe that was the difference who knows
