(I find silicone and a Fugi is the simplest way)

Assuming you mean the silicone sealing strip that you bend in half and peel
off the backing paper to expose the adhesive, so that one half sticks to the
shower tray and one half sticks to the wall, you have two choices at the
corners. Either leave the top strip overlapping the bottom strip, or mitre
it at a 45 degree angle by cutting through both strips with a Stanley
knife/sharp blade. On acrylic baths and shower trays the adhesive usually
fails after a few weeks due to flexing movement between the edge and the
wall.
