use a generous bead of the GE 20 year silicone, and it wont leak.

i caulked a tub using that stuff about 15 years ago, and it held up
well. the floor didnt, requiring replacement this past week. so the tub
sunk, and pulled away from the wall and caulk. so i had to shore
everything up, replace the floor, and recaulk. getting the 15 year old
caulk off was a PITA... it was still as pliable as new, though.
