Hi all

I've just fitted my new bathroom and it's time for the silicon sealant,
around the edges of the new vinyl flooring as well as the 3-piece suite. In
the past I have used my finger to smooth it, and made a really crap job of
it - sealant oozing out on either side of finger and difficult to get a nice
neat bead. Any tips anyone for applying silicon sealant neatly?


You shouldn't need to use anything to smooth it after application - just
cut the nozzle to the right size, hold at the right angle and apply at
the right speed and pressure. That way the only extra sealant will be a
bit that gets past the nozzle on either side, which you can peel or
scrape off when it's part set.
Buy extra and practice :-)
