Re: fingers or tool??!!
used the soapy finger for years (once was a window fitter)
now use the fugi, since you dont use any water with it you
can sort any mistakes straight away

I've got the tools but I'm in the soapy finger club. In fact I'm going to have a go with a profiler again tomorrow and see if I can be converted.

Just siliconed a massive kitchen up today.
Finger and saliva is the future. Makes that end of day pint so much more worth it !!!
