@@SkillBuilder I have old regular cement, and after decades of tests with different paints and solvents, to harden that cement so that mold would not can get a grip on it I gave up and last year I used chlorine, I assume is the same stuff, since is used for bleaching too. Did not poured so much as you, but simple spraying it with a window solution sprayer. It killed it in few minutes. Maybe the solution I used is stronger, it says hypoclorine or something like that 3% solution. and kind of burns the skin. on the hand not visible since is tougher. However the sprayer is dangerous because you can breath the stuff. Once I made the mistake to spray too much, and my lungs did not liked it. Since then I spray fast and keep my breath till I leave the room.

On a positive this method works quite well!

Pulled off the paper and the mold was gone...silicone looks good as new, and still stuck to the fiberglass. Saved me a lot of time, a lot of struggling in the shower, and the cost of the silicone.

Also: "A poultice is a liquid cleaner or chemical mixed with a white absorbent material to form a paste about the consistency of peanut butter. The liquid cleaner or chemical will draw out the stain into the absorbent material."

Bleach will mostly remove the stain but to kill the mould you simply use Boric acid powder in solution purchased from eBay. If you wipe it down where the mould grows it will not grow back. But what whatever you use is going to be diluted or washed away as you shower or as condensation runs down the windows, so you cannot just leave things as the are you must wipe down dry and reapply regularly. I was plagued by mould in my bay window but if I treat often then it is not a plague. Mould spores are everywhere all the time so you have to be vigilant, look it up. But know bleach is scary stuff.

Here is some advice on preventing mold: Keep a small towel nearby and after using shower or bathtub, wipe down all wet surfaces of the bath tub or shower with this towel. End outcome is that surfaces will fully dry very quickly and mold will have hard time establishing itself. This becomes a routine normal thing to do. Allow the towel to dry to be used the next day for same purpose. Should there be any evidence of mold at any time in future, spray it with anti-mold cleaner immediately. By not allowing mold to get established, you will be in control at all times.

Might be wise to mask off the tray below the silicone with strong electrical tape which could stop the bleach contacting the tray. Also have you ever used the rubbery plastic bead tools which shape the silicone.
