Silicone profile

[GlasgowMan]

Would anybody have any advice the best way to silicone these bumpy tiles. I think doing a bead profile would be really messy as the silicone bead would be up and down up and down. Was thinking running a bead of silicone along and using flat edge of profiling tool to make silicone flush with the edge of the skirting tile. Any advice would be great 😊

I’ve got silicone same colour as the grout

Silicone a similar colour to the grout or tile

I’ve got the same coloured silicone. Was just thinking it would look a mess cause the stones don’t create a flat surface. Do you reckon siliconing flush with the skirting would look ok?

Masking tape the stones and edge of skirting tile and it will leave a nice smooth joint once you pull it off

Does pulling tape away from silicone not leave a mark/edge at the top and bottom of silicone?

You've posted in the USA forum but IP tracks as UK. That a VPN (if so fine). Otherwise I'll need move the thread from USA Tile Advice Forum and to the UK Tiling Forum

Decided to leave it anyway as wouldn’t work because tiles and grout were not in a perfectly straight line due to the tiles I picked. Tackled the silicone today, and turned out great considering I’ve not done it very often and the style of tiles. 😃🍻
