    I got a set very similar to these last year called "Fugen Boy" from BES and also available from screw fix. 5mm, 8mm at 45 degrees and a round radius one. very good, easy to clean and give a nice tidy joint.

    Tried them when I was still getting the hang of using my fingers - wouldn't use them now. With your finger you can feel what the bead is doing allowing you to slow down, speed up, press on harder or ease off. No silicone tool can do that.

    Found the main bit of my Fugi kit is starting to wear down after a few months use. Seems like there would be a fairly limited lifespan on these products if you're doing a lot of linear meters a week.

    The best tip I was shown was using a weak fairy liquid, makes an amateur like me look quite good .... well ... not too bad
    Experience is not years of doing a job, it's mistakes you have made and what you learned.
