I made a mess trying to caulk my new tub-surround. As suggested on several do-it-yourself sites, I masked off the area to be caulked and used silicone caulk in a caulking gun. Tried three different ways to smooth the bead--wet finger, ice cube, and plastic spoon. It's not pretty. My question is, can I use that bathtub trim/tape with the adhesive back (i.e., caulk for dummies) to cover the caulked areas? First of all, will it hold? And secondly, would it create a moisture problem between the silicone caulk and the tape strip?
