My New Silicone Tool - if you haven't got one you should for Christmas

[Dave Ramsden]

Got loads of siliconing to do on 2 different jobs very soon so ordered me a set!!

Cool you won't regret it - mine were off ebay - ' tryton ' I think from memory

Another tip is to use a atomising spray prior to using the tool. This prevents silicon sticking where you don't want it to and spreading around the edge of your bead. I would avoid using the finger as silicon is carcinogenic so you don't want it getting in your mouth.

I know you old pros probably have these already but this is the best 7 pounds ( ebay ) I have spent on tiling .
Bit sad I know but it makes for a very neat finish, here're some pics..

I have been thinking of getting a set of those.
How about a close up shot, like down the length of a bead as it is difficult to see any detail...just looks like a groutline from that distance.

use them at an angle or they joggle in and out with the groutline,,,,,,,,, whoops !!!!

I only mention this as the first time I used then I had them at 90% to the worktop , you try cleaning newly applied silicone off and starting again , or am I the only numpty LOL

Never had you down as a numpty, but if you insist........ I did exactly the same when I first tried them. They are good, but you do need to practice.
