Silicon joint between tiles and worktop ??

[paulyoung666]

i have a small amount of runout in my kitchen worktops , i am going to use coloured grout with matching Silicon , any thoughts about a min and max width Silicon line along a worktop ? 🙂

Depends on how much it runs out..:smilewinkgrin:

You say it runs out, what gap is left

 

[paulyoung666]

that was quick :yikes: , about 4 mm over 2.5 metres 🙂

can you pack your top up a couple of mm

 

[White Room]

Could you not bed the other end into the wall slightly to close the gap at the run out end

not an ideal scenario but if you have tiled it and are happy to Silicon it then i wd advise you to get cornertape..the small one wd be ideal for splashbacks as its minimal however on this occasion i would use medium which is a 6mm tape joint and will give you a thicker but neat joint of Silicon to cover the run off

good point mike ,paul is there a part of the worktop which isnt supported properly from underneath you can lift a mm or 2?

worktop dropping down , had another look and a packer i had put in has dropped out as i have screwed the worktop down and i didnt notice , replaced it and i have no more than 2 mm variation along the whole worktop :hurray:

 

[DHTiling]

Put another 2mm packer in then...:lol:

 

[doug boardley]

or take the 2mm packer out of other end:lol:

its easily done mate

problem is it takes awhile for the top to drop so you dont realise
