Default Silicone Sealant

om...
Arggh,
I've just done my first seal with this stuff, along the edge of the
bath. I followed advice from the faq and various people.
It's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
My main problem seems to be creasing. I worked very quickly, but
this stuff seems to form a skin _very_ quickly.
The specific brand was the 'sanitary silicone' from screwfix, is this
an especially fast silicone?

Cheers,
Alex


I have used this stuff many, many times without any problems. I think (as
it was your first seal) you have waited too long before smoothing it with
your finger or whatever you used, maybe because you applied it slower than
'normal'. Was it the end you started at that creased? If it is really
bothering you the only remedies to creasing is either put more over the top,
if it's not going to look too bad, or scrape it out and start again.

HTH
