Step 11 · Final Cleanup and Strainer Installation
Return to the inside of the shower. Use a putty knife or your finger to remove the excess plumber's putty that squeezed out around the drain flange. If you used silicone, smooth the bead with a wet finger or caulking tool, and then clean up the excess with a rag and mineral spirits before it cures. Finally, screw in or snap on the new drain strainer.
