It's a free tip that someone has kindly used their own time to try and show us mere mortals how to try and not make a mess using silicone sealer, so thank you Bathroom, Plumbing and Fitting for your efforts, even if all the closet experts can't be arsed to put there videos up, it certainly made my bodgit and scarper work look good enough for the Mrs so thank you ;-)

[@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089]

Thank you kindly. Anyone who knew how to silicone would not be watching a tutorial anyway. Thanks for your comments though, much appreciated. 👍

Idk, these comments are just as good! I got rid of another buisness just so I could appreate this!

Internet experts who don’t just make their own videos are my favourite. They would realise how annoying it is if they did, because so many other experts would tell them they are doing it wrong.

Of all the millions of KZbin videos I have watched I think this is the most useful one I have ever seen! This should be mandatory watching in all schools throughout the world. I’ve met several handyman and plumbers who shake in fear when it comes to applying silicone. I’ve been trying for years to learn how to do it properly, thank you thank you!

Incredible integrity and helpful. Great British workmanship.

[@yourmasterrenovator86]

I'm a professional. To be able to apply silicone just like an experience professional caulker, I have been watching many videos on how to apply it perfectly. This video probably was the 20th one that I watched over about a week time. I gota say that this video is the most thorough one. Although he applied silicone roughly purposely, he taught us how to manage it. Very well done. I am saving this video.

[@chrisboam]

A 63 year old would like to thank you so much. I've spent a lifetime dreading doing the silicon sealant bit of decorating, usually ending up with more on me than the job. After yet another botch, I found your video, watched it twice, cleaned off my botch job then did it again - PROPERLY!! It's the best job I've ever done and the secret is the squirty bottle. Thanks - I don't think I'm ready to go professional yet but I won't dread the sealant job so much in the future. Much respect.

The most pathetic way to put silicon on ive ever seen u f...ing joke. U dont wipe with finger 1st , u spray it 1st u f...ing joke! Then use a paddle pop stick to wipe excess (which shouldnt b applied so thick u f...ing joke). U idiots continue to put the wrong methods up on here u f...ing jokers!

Kris-- Thanks so much! Just caulked my tub and toilet and it looks absolutely perfect because I followed this tutorial. Your directions are great!

[@DaMalat]

Thanks for taking the time to post the video, just a few points. If you measure the silicone tool against the nozzle and cut the nozzle 2mm less than the length of edge you're using on the tool (and cut the nozzle straight, not at an angle), you can run the tool (flat edge every time not the bevel !!) in one go and job done. Also, clean the area with methylated spirit before application (leave to evaporate for a few minutes). Another point (and a basic guide) - low modulus silicone - good flexibility - for areas likely to see flexing of surfaces (acrylic bath/ shower edge against tiles etc.). High modulus silicone - more hard wearing but less flexible - where no/ little flexing is expected (internal corner of a tiled wall, kitchen worktops, porcelain toilets, sink, shower etc)

[@milamou9352]

This was a fantastic video, very easy to follow and I like how you talked us through each step. That little silicone smoothing tool is a must have.

This is a great video, he does use a lot of caulk and I understand that the reason he does is for beginners. A few homeowners do not know how to use it and it is better to show an abundance than what a proffesional would do. It almost guarantees the beginner a proper seal the first time. Great video!

[@danvanspam]

A lot of the videos on this show confident passes with little to no gummed up mess (what I’d typically end up with). You show that even if you apply it inconsistently it’s still salvageable and ensures the caulk gets a good seal. Cheers for a clear and helpful clip!

Great demo video. Had both our bathrooms renovated over 12 months ago. Tiler must have used his fingers applying silicon on tiled corners because, there's bacterial growth on some parts of the silicone seal. I'll buy those handy silicone spatula tools from local hardware, remove/reseal joints myself. Makes sense about bacterial growth attaching itself to rough surfaces. We always squeegee shower cubical, then use a chamois to wipe any water/ moisture after a shower, leave the shower cubical door open for ventilation. Electric exhaust fans installed in the ceiling above the shower cubical for steam/moisture extraction. Still bacterial growth after all precautions. Thankyou very much. 👋🇦🇺

[@Studhawk]

Touch them back with the point of the tool (grout joints) re-wet the tool and draw the tool across the silicon again.

[@Studhawk]

Be carefull over the joins and watch how far the bleed extends. Touching the silicone back to the bead then tooling over again will solve the bleed problem over tile joints.

After watching this man I believe I can follow his method. His method is not as good as the man's I call to do my work, but I will be very happy to it as well.

I should know, I worked for them and was coerced into being filmed for one of their video's despite knowing very little about the subject!

[@super.rye.2248]

I apply mastic, spray water then trail with setting tool. Works first time every time for me.

[@super.rye.2248]

Nice angle on nozzle always helps.

[@Studhawk]

Exactly - someone else doing it right! Use a washing up liquid mix and some of the mix in a bucket. Flick the tool in the bucket and the silicone falls off into the bucket - no paper towels needed and the tool is wetted for the next pull stroke over the silicone. For best results use a clear antibacterial washing up liquid mist spray. 1:4 mix of washup liquid to water is about right.Studhawk

[@Studhawk]

Exactly agreed - I don't push the silicone in with the finger as i let the gunning in pressure do that - but same system and the guy gets the same abuse i get when i have been a specialist tiling contractor for 30 years and used this system always. #Studhawk How To Tile A BAthroom will show you the same system if you want to check another video for comparrison?

[@maryphillips3140]

Thank you! I have been doing this for years and have just gotten to hate it because I changed my method to use much less caulk. I get a better, longer lasting result by putting in the extra time and effort..and materials. In the long run, it is much cheaper because it lasts longer and looks better than skimpy caulk that gets discolored, mildewed, or dried up, or separates from the surface. Keep up the good work!

[@audunjemtland8287]

How do you get over tile grooves? It always leave a bumpy result, right where the groove is.

[@dynamic5109]

With the Cramer tool, they have small attachments which allow the tool to go over the grout lines without going in them.

[@jameshazell6004]

Never use fingers. Cut the silicone tip at a 90° angle instead of 45°. The cut tip should be no more than 10mm, any larger is overkill. Apply the silicone while using the gun at a 90° angle to push the silicone into the join. Let the gun do the work. Finish with the silicone finishing moulds. No spray needed. No fingers used. No bacteria made. No mouldy bathroom in 5 months time.

[@andymcmeekin2532]

[@noemielachance5964]

Thank you for this video, I went from having no clue how to get this done, to doing it like a pro !

[@irdenadi]

You should do it with the back of an empty silicone tube, its flexible and you can szqueeze it to adjust the radius you want.. also its hollow and takes all your excess and leaves a very clean finish.. try it.

[@Studhawk]

I have seen the back of a silicon tube used before and it is one way of tooling up, but you cannot always squeeze the tube offcut to the same profile - so these silicon tools are far superior. Don't forget to spray over the silicon and wet the tool before tooling up. Studhawk videos

[@Studhawk]

Yes i have tried that method but you can leave a thin film and only wetted silicone tools remove this. Silicone tools are much faster and give a more uniform profile than squeezing a silicon tube off cut which can vary depending on the pressure of the squeeze on the tube. Believe me once you have tried silicon tools you will always use them. Studhawk

[@Studhawk]

The silicone tube will not take off the fine film and how do you get that tube into the corners??
