Any other method would require a wider silicone joint, which is not a problem, just use the next size of tape. It looks much better than going from thick to thin joints to mask up the uneven surface.
Its ,even, neat and tidy. So how would you guys do it.

Ah! now I see where you are coming from. In that case, it appears to have done the job. Would have been even better to have an even gap in the first place though, I am sure you agree. |

We liken the 6mm tape as being the same as using your finger, i.e the same size joint. But to be honest I think that it looks really really good as it is, but if you're a perfectionist then the 6mm would solve the problem for you.

If it's the guy's first attempt at tiling, well done him. Getting the cuts right in the corners is not easy when you first start. Was it his own house or a paying job? |
