I have already completed the sealing of the shower cabinet, but I then had a wee think to myself.

Where should you start applying the sealant?

Should you start at one of the inside corners and work your way from top to bottom and do the same with the other three corners before sealing the three sides on the tray


OR

seal the three sides of the shower tray first and then work up the way sealing the corners from the inside

OR

any other way I have not suggested?

thanks

I always start at the bottom and work my way up as o use a soapy spray and silicone tools to get a perfect line......

always seal outside only start at bottom of verticals and work up
reason for sealing outside only, most shower screens have a tendency to hold water in the channeling and if it cant run in (due to silicone)it runs outside shower cubical
