Found out my "professional" caulk job was garbage after 6 months

Honestly I spent a whole weekend last summer re-caulking my bathtub in Denver. Looked perfect at first but then black mold started showing up after 6 months. So I googled it and found out I skipped the step where you need to fill the tub with water before caulking because the gap changes when it's full. Now I gotta scrape it all out and start over. Has anyone else learned that one the hard way?

Three months max on caulk here with our Colorado winters, filling the tub first or not. Honestly I just hit it with a bleach spray every few weeks and call it good enough lol.

Denver's the worst for that... I had the exact same thing happen @shane_ross. Drove me crazy scraping it all out again.
