Q: Clean up any areas where caulk has accidentally gotten on the shower surround before it dries. For acrylic caulks, use a damp rag to clean up mistakes. For silicone caulks, wipe down any excess caulk with a soft cloth rag soaked in mineral spirits. Peel the tape off slowly and do not let it touch any of the fresh caulk. If the tape left ridges of caulk behind along the edge, clean these up by smoothing the area out again with a damp rag or damp finger. Pull the tape off at a downward, outward angle. This will keep the removed tape away from the bead, minimizing the chance of messing it up. Look at the label on your caulk tube for curing times. In most cases, it's a good idea to wait at least 24 hours before running the water or using the shower. If you run the water over the caulk before it finishes curing, you might rinse some of it away or cause it to smear and run, creating a big mess and weakening its seal on the seam.
