What happens here

To seal the new faceplate, apply a bead of DAP Kwik Seal adhesive caulk around the top and sides of the escutcheon where it meets the shower wall. Wet your finger or a sponge with cold water and run it along the caulk line to create a smooth, professional-looking seal. Leave a small gap at the very bottom of the faceplate to act as a weep hole. Finally, use a piece of paper towel to wipe away any excess caulk from the fixture.
