Default Silicone sealant

I always use masking tape or selotape.

Hi guys

One job I hate doing is applying silicone sealant. I ALWAYS end up
covered in the stuff.

My general method for applying is:-

Apply the silicone and smooth off with a wet finger. I usually apply too
much and end up gathering a finger full whilst smoothing.

Anyone have any tips for applying silicone? Reason I ask is, work have
just had a new kitchen and toilets fitted and the silicone on there looks
perfect. Nice straight lines, over over smear and even the corners look
to be at right angles!!! How on earth have they done that?
