Yesterday I struggled siliconing behind taps on a bath. Normally I would think about removing the taps prior to doing this on a new install but removing both taps was not an option - they were agains the back wall.

Any tips please?

The karl dam profiles were too big. I cut another profile right down but it still gave problems.

I usually end resorting to the "finger"!
