Silicon

[goz]

i know of no reason why not. Seems like the easiest way for me. Always happy to learn something new though, if i shouldn't be doing it this way round!

The reason I don't do it this way round is my smoothing tool catches on the grout joints as I run over the Silicon, causing dents in my perfect Silicon

I must admit I found that too, but I'm pretty good at "floating" the Silicon tools over the joints, and not snagging. Most of what I fix is rectified 1 or 2mm anyway which helps.

If u use this Fugi kit u won't have to 'float' your Silicon tool.
It glides effortlessly over joints.

Yeah they attach perpendicular to the Silicon tool and eliminate the dip it the joint.
Hard to put into words, but effectively like having two skies running over tiles.
Keeps the tool level through joints

They clip onto the edge of the tool so that when you go over the joints the tool runs smoothly over it rather than 'dropping' into the grout joint

Really need a new set, as I've cut some up smaller ti get into awkward spaces.
