I use fingers too , but be warned , silicone is pretty toxic when fresh out of the tube , so don't lick ur fingers. 50/50 washing up liquid/water is my fave mix for smoothing with finger.

Cheers

I think i'll be getting some of these. I have used a squirty bottle (technical term) & fingers for years now but time to upgrade. Cheers for sharing

I use the Stick from a Magnum Ice cream and "squirty bottle", leaves a perfect finish, only problem is that they ware down pretty quick. Handy when you have three kids that like Ice cream.

Ive seen guys using their finger with nothing more than spit on it. A colleague of mine says that bacteria from your mouth then gets in the silicone, which in turn can cause, or at least not help with mould problems, and silicone turning black.

So I bought the same looking tools as these off of the trade tiler site. Really good.

Brilliant tool will never use my finger again also it works better if you spray water mix with little washing up liquid onto the bead of silicone and onto the tool before using

Looks great, I was hoping for such a thing as I was struggling with silicone the other day, I don't think I can wait till Christmas..
