I recently renovated my bath which included a tiled shower with a shower basin bottom. We caulked the gap where the tiles and basin meet with DAP Acrylic Caulk. We are having problems with the caulk drying. It's remaining tacky and coming off as we use the shower. Is there a better item to use for this?

Thanks!

The wrong kind of caulk was used. Remove it, clean area with denatured alcohol or acetone and redo it using 100% pure silicone caulk and wait at least 24 hours before showering.
