I use fairy liquid because it gives a really smooth finish, sticking your finger in your gob is just not on, a small cup with washing up liquid in it, do your joints with the silicone and smooth off with a fairy finger ( no jokes please ) I have been siliconing for years and always want to get a perfect result, if you are unsure about siliconing you could try cornertape

Sticking your finger in your gob is def not on, microbes in spit grow in silicone and as far as I was aware chemicals in the silicone are potential carcenogens.

Correct it was the war cry of the greatest pro cycling team in modern history Mapei.

Try this,

It can be used around all areas i.e,

Baths, showers, worktops and tiles of course,

Comes with its own sharpening stone, the blades have been angled to prevent gorging, as you can see it has 3 blades to suite however you use it.

The full retail cost is only £9.99 inc vat at 15%, retailers offer trade discounts.



The only downside is that you can't open a bottle of beer with it:8:, rest assurred we are working to rectify this problem:smilewinkgrin:



Cheers
