The german prononciation of the letter ß is eszett but the word weiß is pronounced Weiss. Even in German you will never see weiß written in weisz. Weiss is not technically accurate either but is shown that way from time to time

The one they did finish seems to be leaning to one side

Ah yeah I've used silicone to recaulk the glass when the mold got under it. I might take your suggestion here... I'll end up using a lot just to get the slope. As far as shaping it, I suppose I can use a straightedge to form the slope. Luckily the surface is flat so removing the silicone won't be a problem

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid that murdering the mold is something I have to sign up for now given my present situation.

I was considering adding something waterproof in the corner so the water rolls off like you said, but I am not sure what the best way to do that was and whether or not it could look like a clean fix. I would still like to explore what that fix might look like which would help me understand why it is a crappy solution. What are your thoughts here?

Thanks for the reply. I'm certainly not considering a rebuild of the shower given the expense. I think my fan is strong enough considering that my mirrors do not fog up when I shower (the shower stall glass do not go all the way up so there is a gap for the air to pass through).

It seems like the squeegee is the most pragmatic solution given that it's the cheapest.

Thinking about the stronger/additional exhaust fan or a dehumidifier, it is hard for me to grasp that these devices can increase the rate of evaporation so much to prevent the problem considering the standing water (the droplets on the glass after the shower, and the few inch^2 of area that the water pools)

This corner of the shower seems to be having some mold issues from regular use. Water seems to be collecting in that spot after a shower and doesn't seem to be draining properly. Is there anything I can do for a permanent fix?

I've tried keeping my bath fan on for an hour after the shower and don't want to have to squeegy it after each use.
