How do I get a smooth even finish around the bath. I used an applicator
but it came out as a series of lumps. I attempted to smooth it out with
my finger but it spread unevenly and too far. Any useful tips before I
try it again will be greatly appreciated.

Fugenboy - it's not the only product or metod, but I have had some
excellent results with mine.

I think you should say Fugenboy 'type' smoother, otherwise Cicero will have
a hissy fit. Lidl do a nice cheap set - if you are prepared to wait 3
months for then to be in store again.

There are several Fugenboy 'type' applicators, but they all work on the same
principle.
The other types marketed by Unibond, Vitrex, Everbuild, Stanley et all
work - or actually don't work - on a different principle.

Well - I can only speak of the one I actually used - all the others
might be crap for all I know!

I totally agree.

I've used mine 3 times now and had no problems, a spray container of
soapy water is essential to lubricate the sealant surface. I initially
put too much sealant down but soon became used to just how much to apply
and after that the job was a joy to do. Not something, a few years ago,
I thought I would ever say.
