The old caulk was between wall and teak, between the 2 teak trim pieces and between teak and shower pan.
(It’s been removed, by hand, light sanding, and light rub with acetone)
I’m ready to re-seal but wondering if Life Caulk or another non silicone sealant would be better? I don’t want 5200 in case there is a leak and I have to remove it later on. Suggestions?

The pan seems like it’s a textured plastic and the walls are regular interior all original.
 
I would use Sike 291 for that. To do it properly use their primer on the wood and it will stick very well. I did some teak toe rail to the fiberglass deck about 3 years ago and it is still perfect.
 
3 m products are Cadillac. Suggest 3m4000. Call their tech support.very Responsive

+1 Sikaflex ... A little better than the 3M products (does not yellow as much with age) and half the price.
 
I used to use 3M caulks but have been way more satisfied with Sika once I tried them.
 
Caulking finished

Finished using brown Sikaflex 291,
There are 3 caulk lines here bit the brown makes it look like one. Thanks for help all.
