used mine for the first time about two weeks ago m8, really love em, my siliconing looks in my eyes a1 now!!!

on the ones i have i found if you apply slightly(and i mean slightly lol) more Silicon than you need it works a treat

nice 1, its all about the finish looking good thats why i grouted and said id come back to Silicon the edges so it would look good, was for a family member so they dont mind waiting, best put the bathroom door back on its hinges too, been over a week now haha :lol:

pmsl... Finish is everything m8, a bad Silicon job can look cr@p can't it.... I still use masking tape too when i use the tool, just a personal preference....

 

[MrSpoon]

hmm is that masking tape instead of the soapy water spray or aswell as?

I use masking tape as well. Still spray your smoothing tool with washing up liquid but you don't need to to spray the Silicon, although it does help for the final smoothing once you've removed the tape.

i tried to use masking tape but only i could have found masking tape that doesnt stick to anything :mad2: and i forgot my spray bottle, so i opted for a jug of soapy water and a spray device from a windowlene bottle

Both the Screwfix and Karl Dahm Silicon tools work a treat, just a shame that the Karl Dahm ones have the instructions in german.
