Bathtub Caulk Before and After

These are pretty self explanatory.
I used chemical caulk remover, a caulk remover tool, and a funny looking bristly brush attachment for my Dremel to remove the old caulk.
There was a huge gap at one corner, instead of using a backer rod I spray some Great Stuff Door and Window (it's remains flexible).
I taped, caulked a wide seam (personal preference) and smoothed the caulk with a wooden tongue depressor (FYI: tongue depressors and craft/popsicle sticks are the greatest caulk tool-ers).
I used Dap 3.0 Kitchen and Bath in Glossy White that can be exposed to water in 3 hrs, but I waited 12 just to be safe.
