How to apply silicone sealant with the Fugi 5 Profile Kit.
Cramer Fugi 5 Tool Kit: amzn.to/3lSJcMj
This multifunctional tool can be used for many flexible sealants and caulks.
Application of masking tape and cleaning afterwards is no longer necessary. Due to the design of the FUGI there is no need to use a releasing agent and the desired form of sealing can be applied without leaving a greasy-film. Mistakes can be repaired by simply re-grouting, however, this works only if the sealing-grout/caulk has not yet bonded (Cellulite-skin surface).
All pastes, silicone, acrylic and polyurethane can be applied as a sealant, and flexible grouts are able to be formed with the FUGI paying attention to the Manufacturer's instructions.
By holding the FUGI so that it fits seamlessly to the wall and floor, slight pressure is applied so the flexible cutting edges fit well into the wall angle. Always use the absolutely smooth edge for spreading. Work step by step, by only doing short distances. Should the sealant go above the FUGI, stop spreading, and clean FUGI with a household paper towel.
The FUGI can be used on all smooth, rough or wave-like surfaces. When working on uneven surfaces push a little harder onto flexible edges.
Cramer Fugi kit supplied with:
5 Tools - 16 different ways of use:
1 x 180°C angle
1 x 90°C angle
4 x 45°C angle (16, 10, 8, 5mm)
3 x concave grooves (r = 5, 10, 15mm)
7 x convex shapes (30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 8, 6 x 3mm)
Swallow-tail tool for tight corners and hard to reach areas

Not a bad effort, great method for beginners. I am a Sealant Applicator myself and i do appreciate how hard it can be to get a good bead. I use tooling sticks made from pine strip wood. Ive got many videos on my channel if you are interested in seeing another method 🥳

I use Fugi kit all the time.... here's my tips Buy the pack of three from Tool Station. You'll only need these three. The red ones are a waste. Use builders wipes as you go rather than tissues and soapy water. Try not to get the 'plasticky' wipes that feel like plastic bags, the 'cottony' once are best. Cheap ones are fine. If you have to form into a 3 way corner, like corner of a bath or shower where the two walls meet the surface, I recommend you do the upright silicon bead first, and then let it dry before you do the other two. Trying to neatly finish the point where 3 beads meet is a nightmare. Lastly, don't let customers see how easy it is to do with these tools. Let them marvel at how skillful and neat you are. Bask in the glory.

It's a difficult job at the best of times guys, but if you are doing the whole job then you tend to plan ahead for that silicone day, ie. as you are putting that tile on and notice its not quite square you don't think ha ha the silicon man will get round that! No! you remove said tile and re-fit straight. Good job though lads under difficult circumstances... (us faceless lot watching your every move! Id like to see some of these numpty's do it!) I've moved on to using mainly CT1 for most jobs, with the multi-solve to help with the tooling up. just don't use the wet wipes to clean it first, as it reacts with the CT1 (stops it sticking properly), use the multi-solve to clean and dry it well before applying.

I usually start with trying to sterilise all surfaces and tools to reduce of any bacteria manifesting and thus reducing bond and increasing mould chances etc. Also using your fingers could contaminate it with skins oils and bacteria transferring to it and probably lots of potentially harmful chemicals in these sealants that could soak into your skin! Jubi seems like a nice chap. Pity he doesn't like applying sealant - it can be quite therapeutic and satisfying when you sweep through a few tricky points!

Had the bath to do at home so watched a number of videos on this subject as I'm rubbish at this sort of stuff. Thing is you need a bit of practice to get it right. I made my self a test corner from 2 pieces of clean off cut wood and had a go with that. OK, might be a waste of silicone but compared to your job that's relatively cheap and you get an idea of working time. Dow Corning silicone will skin over quite quickly, it's good stuff but you haven't got a lot of time with it. Their technical site is well worth a read as it tells you how to get an optimal seal and how much movement it'll take. As for using masking tape, I'd be careful with Frog Tape as it leaves a residue which can repel anything. The blue 3M's tape is good, stays intact and seems to peel away nice and cleanly, does cost though.

Only use silicone with a BS number on the tube. If it hasn't then it may well contain recycled silicone and/or cheaper fillers rather than virgin silicone. Oh, and if the tube says 'bathroom sealant' and not silicone, then it is acrylic, and it WILL harden and shrink.

I had no idea that recycled silicone, or cheap fillers, are sold on. Thanks for tip, I'll definitely keep an eye out in future. Regarding acrylic sealant, 100% agreed. I discovered this years ago when I made foolish mistake of buying 'silicon' in B&Q. I grabbed an £11.00 tube assuming that the price would reflect the quality. When I squeezed out the first bead, it was so watery that it flew out. It was awful stuff and clearly has that acrylic smell.

If you don't have the fugi kit to hand, do your silicone line as normal, spray with soapy water, squeeze the end of an empty silicone tube to form a small radius then run that down your silicone line which scoops up all excess and leaves no mess, then if necessary lightly run your finger across. That's if you don't have the fugi kit of course 👍🏻

Plumbers only use white or sometimes translucent. I don't think plumbning merchants really get into colours. However TBH you could match 90% of jobs with Mapei 100 (White) 111 (Light Grey) 113 (Cement Grey) 114 (Anthracite) and 120 (Black-quite rare) 130 (Jasmine) There is also the 110 (Manhatten) and 112 (Mid Grey). Best thing is to give the tiler $50 to supply matching silicone to the grout for fit-off.

hows the dot and dabbed tiles holding up? have the clients complained about the cold spots on the floor yet?
@SkillBuilder

We have had a thermal imaging camera on those tiles and you can see all those mini dots gave a 90% adhesive coverage when pushed down, which complies with The British Standard. There are no cold spots and there is no sign of cracking grout. We will keep watching it but anyone who bet that it would fail within 8 weeks has lost their money.

@@SkillBuilder 70% coverage in Australia, and no standards in New Zealand (yeah, this is a great place to live, just don't buy a house off the plans!). People go whah-whah over spot fixing but if areas are uneven it can be the most efficient method for a perfect finish, depending on a couple of things: 1) A strong (usually porcelain) tile 2) HIGH quality latex modified C2S1 adhesive (preferably with liquid latex also added 25-50% 3) A solid substrate .

If you were acetoxy cure silicone that might be why it didn't stick to your bath, it can be funny on some surfaces like that, PVC is the worst, I had it fail several times on some PVC panels. Use a neutral cure silicone, it will stick better.

Clear silicone is better, but the installation has to be perfect,, i can't stand bleed out on tiles because of silicone colour, very annoying, very similar to a work top protruding beyond a tall larder cupboard, one of my pet hates, and one I've never done myself can't stand it when shop fitting principles are not exemplified in domestic kitchens, it's very poor planning.

@@SkillBuilderi agree the white looks better around the bath and toilet, I didnt explain that very well. Just think matching the grout colour around that shelf with the silicone would have matched up nicer, especially with it being on darker surfaces.

I use a spray bottle of soapy water. (A weak solution). After I've applied the silicon I very lightly mist the area with the soapy water, this stops the excess silicon smearing all over the place when you use the fugi. Only time you have to watch is when you are applying to a textured surface, I find it's better done the old fashioned way, with you're finger. (Said the actress to..........)

So many people douse the unfinished bead with water before smoothing or tooling it out. Even though most silicone sealants will state on their instructions “Do not allow to get wet for at least 24 hours” So many times I’ve had to re do silicone and it comes off In almost full strips because it hadn’t adhered to the surfaces properly. It’s not just about making it look good, it also has to perform an important task. Wetting it before tooling it allows water to come between the silicone and the surface to which you are trying to adhere .

This tooks way too long for a professional. In such a bath you does usually have 35-50 meter Silicon to do. You have to do it in 2-3h hours or you are losing money. And don't youse any soap, only use neutral soaps with ph around 7,5 otherwise your fungicide in the silicone will be destroyed by the acid and mold will come sooner.
