@Payney84 Thanks. Glad you found it useful! The red one has gaps that you can fit the black sled to, which enables you to drag it over transverse (vertical) grout joints without the tool getting caught in each grout line, keeping the silicone joint nice and smooth.

Hi. Great video. I’ve tried many tools for removing old silicone. I agree that a Stanley knife is no good. I looked online for a knife with a flexible blade to get parallel with the surface in the corner. In the end I found the best thing to use is a fish filleting knife. They bend so you can get right in without scratching. You can also re sharpen them with a steel.

I'm 70 years old and have applied sealant countless times using various methods. I watched your video, paying particular attention to your research arguments. They made complete sense. I purchased a Fugi kit and followed all your advice on using it. I can honestly say that I have never done such a good job. Thank you

This guys advice is amazing. I did a near perfect job of applying silicone as he advised. It seriously look neat and was easy to do. Made me feel confident. Sometimes the best teachers are the non-experts because the experts just carry on doing what they’ve always done but others re-evaluate ways of doing things with evolving technology and tools.

Used this system last night, Cramer 7 bought with your recommendation and delighted with the results. The hint about the right angle piece to remove errors was priceless. The other thing was I was using brand new sanitary silicone rather than one that had been sitting in my shed since the last job. It seemed to flow easier.

Charlie your videos make the most sense out of all the silicone vids I've watched. Great tip for corners to do one continuous move into and around the corner - thanks.

Must admit I have always been a wet finger doer until I watched this and had my eyes opened !! cheers and will use the tool from now on, great results.

Best videos out there by miles! Would recommend to anyone before they start a diy project. Thank you Charlie!

Great info. Better vid even than the previous. So glad I saw this because I bought the Cramer kit 7 straight away from Amazon. I’ve finally found the solution to not using my finger! I tried masking tape before, and it looked really neat, but I got that tiny lip that was left as per the previous video. Thank you so much for blasting the idea of using water and washing up liquid, or white spirits. Although they work, your video made it so obvious that water and white spirit could get behind the silicone without you knowing. Fantastic, keep it going as these videos are really informative.

Thank you, very much Charlie, this is the best approach I have been looking for. You helped me a lot! Exactly as you did I did my kitchen silicone and its perfect now. I trained the corner siliconing many times on the corner model - I think at least about 50 times, until I fully understood the procedure but I was rewarded by a good result. Thank you again, the best video!

Superb video, followed your tips and replaced the silicone in my shower with ease, confidence and a perfect finish. Have done this job a few times in the past and each time have had problems using other techniques. All of your tips make doing this job simple especially the corner tip. Look forward to more videos.

So good to see this video as I have a fair bit of sealing to do and also now know how to use the tool. Just ordered the kit 5 and hopefully get a good finish.

Thanks Charlie, more top siliconing advise. Bought the Kramer profiling tool kit and actually came out pretty good for a first attempt. Just struggled with the corner, should be fine now after this vid. Keep up the good work.

I have never siliconed and I believe these videos by Charlie, are the most believable and trustworthy, for excellence. I hope to report back upon completion of my project(s).

Just purchased a kit 5 after watching your last video and made a great job re sealing the bath and kitchen worktops. Think I spent longer removing the old silicone and ensuring the surface was clean with methylated spirit than it took to apply the new silicone. Really pleased with the results, would previously spent ages applying masking tape but this is much better.

Thank you Charlie for this amazing tutorial for other fellow OCD sufferers. I'm not being sarcastic, your in depth explanation and procedure helped me solve a 20 year conundrum in my sons shower. I followed your instructions and it looks perfect.

Bravo! 👏 Thank you for your commonsense and thoughtful knowledge. I've watched your videos a couple of times to clarify some difficult areas of sealing. I purchased the Cramer 7

Thanks for the video, I have found the fugue kit can make the work surface a bit mucky. But I have to practise more to improve the quality of finish. Thanks again the new extra kits look great.

Awesome work on the videos Charlie. Keep up the great work. Regrouting and resealing my shower next week, your videos have been incredibly helpful for a beginner DIY’er like me. Cheers mate.

You're welcome Harry. Thanks for the comment!!

Brilliant video. It's amazing how many people I know over the years who have bought similar profiling tools yet use them the wrong way round, using the profiled edge as it faces the silicone. All this does is finely smear out the silicone above and below your joint which then shows up on your tiles when viewed from an angle, it's a total bugger to remove too and invariably you end up mucking up your silicone seal in the process. Glad you talked about not using water too

Thanks Charlie, really helpful video, intend purchasing the Profiling Kit. There is one thing that I have learnt that works really well, after I have put the Silicon on and it has dried, I put a waterproofer on, this reduces any mold for years, do the same with grouting and has the same effect.

Great video Charlie. That first bit where you deliberately screwed it up (we've all been there), and then cleaned off and made a lovely joint afterwards was process demonstration at a very high level. Wonderful.

This video arrived in my feed at exactly the right time. I’m about to silicone my bathroom tomorrow and I’ve been puzzling over the intersecting corners for a week now. I had come to the same conclusion about doing the verticals and letting them go off then the horizontals. I’ve complicated the matter by doing two different colours (grey tiles and white sanitary ware) so great on the tiles and white around the top of the bath etc. I also have the kit you used as I think I saw your previous video and bought it based on that. Anyway, thank you for your insight it’s much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Great video Charlie, Thank's for the share, trouble you have with silicon is the waste when you are using more expensive silicons CT1 etc, have a nice day !!! .

I just had to say thankyou very much for this guide. I was worried about the finish I just knew that I would not get the finish I wanted. I followed your advice, I already had a kit but without the fancy attachment which allows the smooth finish which glides over grout between the tiles. I read and re-read the 1 page of instructions for use ages ago and many times since. It didnt have any sort of guide as how to hold the kit. Your video told me perfectly and the job I did was almost perfect. I cant wait to do my kitchen now!!

Love all the detail you give. Thanks.

Great info and clear demonstration, thank you.

Good video. If it works, thats all it maters. I've been using wooden sticks which comes in 5 sizes, and been doing for years with great success. Another one is magnum ice cream stick and spray wih soapy water - works wonders.

as a glazier i have always cut my nozel at 90 DEG as otherwise material does not go into the join. Many painters make the same mistake when cutting at 45 DEG. Great explanation

Thank you Charlie. Your corner technique of doing the vertical joints first, and letting them dry overnight is awesome. It taught me so much. Then the warning that by spraying the silicone before scraping, will leaved gaps! Brilliant. As a matter of fact it is so good that I am going to send this video to my son! He lost his dad when he was only 15, and now that he is 25, he has started working in the Trades. Awesome lesson and a beautiful job.

I think this job is easily overlooked and if done badly, as it so often is, can really ruin the look of a newly fitted bathroom. I used to work alongside a tradesman who done siliconing for a living, and he was superb at it. All he used was different size/profile dowelling which he made himself, and the finish he left was A+. And, he made a very good living out of it. Small van, simple toolbag, and he earn't very very good money. Thanks for the tips Charlie and excellent tutorial.

great follow up to your previous video Charlie. I also ended up doing the vertical first, waiting a day and then the horizontal to get a perfect finish. I am chuffed to bits when I see so-called professional plumbers using their fingers to smooth off leaving a messy finish.
