How big is the gap. Silicone will not necessarily adhere to silicone, but the seal is made where the bead meets the tile, not anything behind it. Is that a feasible solution? Hey Larry,

Can you fill it up with more silicone? How big is the gap. Silicone will not necessarily adhere to silicone, but the seal is made where the bead meets the tile, not anything behind it. Is that a feasible solution?

My problem is with my niche shelf.  I used some backer rod to fill in a gap where the upper shelf meets the back of the niche.  When I applied the silicone, I either didn't use enough or it settled down so that I now have a little trough back there that will hold water.  Do you have any tricks for fixing this, short of tearing it out and redoing it. If I have to redo it, do you have suggestions for removing the silicone? I am real happy with the shower, having used all your good advice.  I would be glad to send you a picture if you are interested. Thanks! Roger

(Insert joke here). If the shelf is large enough or the tile is fragile enough I do cut the tile in the back of the niche as well.
