## Common questions

**What tape holds shower door seals?**

[Clear acrylic VHB (very-high-bond) double-sided tape](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/cat0401436). Our 1/4" x 36' roll fits the 5/16" base of stick-on seals.

**How do I remove old silicone or VHB tape from tile or stone?**

Spray stubborn residue with a remover like the [CRL CRLSRK1T](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/crlsrk1t) kit, then scrape it off with a [single-edge razor blade](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/51s) in a holder like the [CRL RS65](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/rs65), keeping the blade low and flat to the surface. Wipe the area with rubbing alcohol so new tape or silicone bonds.

**How do I get hard water spots off my shower door?**

Use a product made for shower glass, like the IDEAL Bath Kit: Restore lifts the spots and haze, then TopCoat seals the glass with a water-repellent coating so new spots have less to grab onto. We don't use or recommend vinegar or other acidic cleaners on shower glass, hardware or seals. No cleaner can repair glass that is already etched.

**What silicone should I use around a glass shower door?**

A mildew-resistant 100% clear silicone like [CRL 33SMRC](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/33smrc). Remove all old sealant first, and don't use it on marble, limestone or mirrors. If the hardware is brass, use neutral-cure [CRL RTV408C](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/rtv408c) instead.

**Which silicone should I use with brass shower hardware?**

Use a neutral-cure silicone like [CRL RTV408C](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/rtv408c). Standard acetic-cure silicone (the vinegar-smelling kind, like 33S) releases acid as it cures and can turn brass green.

**How do I get a clean, straight silicone line?**

Run painter's tape like [3M7890](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/3m7890) along both sides of the joint, apply the silicone, smooth the bead, then pull the tape right away while the silicone is still wet.

**What is the best way to cut a shower door seal?**

Plastic trim snips like the [CRL PTS89](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/p/pts89) cut vinyl and plastic seals cleanly in one squeeze, straight or at a 45° angle. A fine-tooth hacksaw also works on rigid seals.
