Advice on grout/ silicone at cut edges - TilersForums.com

[OJBurns]

Kitchen tiling around the window - (first time using tile trim) I have cut the tiles and done my best to make the cuts neat and even - but as you can see from the pics the gap is uneven. Can I make this neat / cover with grout or silicone? Or do the cuts need to be re done?? Any advice welcome, thank you in advance

I wouldn't say you've done badly at all as a first attempt. When grouting, you might be happy enough with how it looks. Wouldn't usually silicone that joint, but if after grouting you aren't happy, then you could try to silicone over the grout with a profiling tool. You might find when grouted up you feel happy enough with it. A strategically placed knife block etc might hide the problem
