silicone 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 silicone , any thoughts about a min and max width silicone line along a worktop ?

[Dave]

Depends on how much it runs out..

[whitebeam]

You say it runs out, what gap is left

[paulyoung666]

that was quick , about 4 mm over 2.5 metres

[doug boardley]

that's a lot

[paulyoung666]

that's a lot

thanks for that

can you pack your top up a couple of mm

[whitebeam]

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

[kilty55]

not an ideal scenario but if you have tiled it and are happy to silicone 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 silicone 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?

Are we talking about the worktop dropping down 4mm or coming away fronm the wall 4mm ?

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

[Dave]

Put another 2mm packer in then...

[doug boardley]

or take the 2mm packer out of other end

[mikethetile]

its easily done mate

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