You know one place you’re going to find a lot of mildew and mold is in the bathroom, typically, in the cock joint where the tub meets the shower walls. You’ll see mildew gets embedded inside the cocking. It might be due to the wrong kind of cocking being used, but typically, I see it happening because the actual cock job is not done the right way. Now you can do this yourself, and the tips are really easy.
The first thing you need to do is remove all the old cocking. Don’t make the mistake of putting new cocking over the old, because the mildew is just going to bleed right through. Then, once it’s cleaned and dry, you’re going to use some painter’s tape. It’s actually going to help you create a guide so you get a professional job, every single time. And, the most important step is to use the right cocking for the job. This way you have a better chance of mildew and mold not returning to your bathroom. Let me show you how it’s done.
You see that separation in the cock? That’s the trouble spot because water can get behind the cock causing mildew and mold to form and possibly damage your shower walls. Take your utility knife like this, and try and cut that cocking away and you should be able to just peel it away and remove all that cocking.
The next step is to use some painter’s paint as a guide. You want to get it about an eighth inch or so away on the tub and an eighth inch away on the wall itself. Once the taping is done, you want to use a siliconized acrylic cock like this ACE labeled product. The benefit of this one on the tube is, there’s no waste and it’ll literally do the entire job for you. Here’s what you do, squeeze the cocking in between the tape, trying to force as much cock into the gap as possible. Notice how its going over the top of the tape, that’s ok because finally what you’re going to do, is take your finger and just finish it off nice and smoothly. Remove the two pieces of tape, finish it off one more time with a clean finger, and you’ve got a perfect cock job every single time.
You see it’s not that hard to take care of those everyday projects in your home with the help from ACE. You’re saving money and you’re protecting your investment.
