Caulking

The use of a caulking compound will assure
a water-tight seal of your enclosure. Apply
caulk along outside edge of enclosure where
metal and shower meet, especially where sill
meets threshold. If desired, caulk inside of
enclosure where jambs meet walls.

Caulk joint on sill where magnetic door stop
and sill meet. On opposite side, caulk where
hinge door stop and sill meet.
