And then there's cement Hardie plank trim that might work well from Home Depot and Lowes

Also try to caulk only the outside. Or only the inside. Sounds crazy but only caulk one side.

Another idea. You may want to look at a piece of marble or granite. Many counter top suppliers have back splash pieces about the size you are looking for. I did a stand alone tub in the middle of a bathroom for someone years ago and used this as a transition from floor to tub. It dresses out nicely and doesn't cost much.

This is a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get a piece of hard plastic that would be at least 1 inch thick, by 3 inches wide, by 5 feet long? I need to make a shim to go underneath a sliding shower door for a full sized tub. My husband made one out of oak, but we have found that even with the tub caulk, water seems to find a way in and is causing the wood to get wet, and then leach a brownish substance back out around the caulk. I've removed the caulk and the bottom of the frame, but need to make a new shim. I'm thinking I could make it out of some sort of rubber/plastic, semi rigid, that could be cut with a table saw? Any ideas?

Try Homedepot they carry plastic corner trim boards for homes. these are solid plastic for the outside corner trim.

Pvc is your friend, Hardie will deteriorate if not completely sealed,I use a lot of PVC to replace rotten trim

If you were closer I have plenty of nylon,UHMW, in green and white I would give you

If your tub/shower is white the PVC trim boards will work perfectly. That's what I've used in the past.

Took the words outta my mouth!

I think nylon is the stuff I was thinking of. Sort of semi-transparent, rigid, but shaves down nicely?

I did get to HD yesterday and picked up a nice PVC trimboard for $14, so we're hoping that will do the trick. It's about 1 x 3 inches, and 6 feet long. We'll hone it down and make the shim. I'm pretty excited to get this fixed.
