    I decided to do this video because my last siliconing video bit.ly/34b3O85 didn't properly cover how to silicone corners.
    The trick with siliconing corners is to start with the vertical wall-grout line and let that bond (I actually left mine to bond overnight). After bonding Cramer recommend working on the floor-grout starting out of the corners in both directions, but I prefer to start just off one corner and then continue all the way around the corner in one continuous motion. That way you get a lovely clean corner and because you let the vertical silicone joint to go hard, you don't interfere with or damage the vertical line when you draw the tool around the corner.

      @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.

    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. Well done mate. The best silicone application video ever. And buy from his links in the description.

    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.
    Thank you so much for putting in the effort and having such an easy attitude and presentation technique.

Thanks again 👍👏

You have addressed everything that I have had issues with in the past in your earlier video, and now you've shown how to deal with corners and uprights in a very comprehensive and straight forward manner, using the best tools for the job. I have now ordered the shaping tool you demonstrated and look forward to completing my shower installation having followed your tuition. Keep making videos....please! Your explanations are exactly what I need and following your example makes DIY a joy and not a chore. Thank you so much.....your efforts are genuinely appreciated!

Thank you again, the best video!

    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.

  • @Landofhopeandglory575
    @Landofhopeandglory575 Před 4 lety +1

    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

    @francisking6671 Před 9 měsíci

    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!!

    Followed this video to the letter and now have a re-sealed shower tray which looks great and should hold up for years to come. As a complete novice to siliconing, even I managed to get that *chefs kiss* corner in the thumbnail. The toothed blade tool in the Fugi 7 kit was effective (and satisfying) at ripping out the old silicone after carefully sliding the blade tool behind both sides first. Cheers!

    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.

    Charlie, great tip for doing corners as they have always been messy in the past. Homebase do some extra long nozzles for around £1 to £2 which are really useful for getting behind those pesky taps.

    Just want to add, I bought a new build house recently, had to extend the bathroom tiling to the roof to install a shower.
    Bought the 7 piece and really pleased with the lines it gave both on the tiling & on the shower screen joint to the wall.

    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.

    Hi Charlie I lived in UK 15 years ago and worked on building sites as a plaster, tiler , painter and so how life went. When we finished bathrooms the site manager never ever let us do finishes with silikons jobs. They Always called specialist which he charged him 500 pounds per day for the best results of the silikon jobs. I was always surprised how good finish he did as good as you. So. I am sending best regards in UK and I have to say I miss UK so much . Jan from Czech. :) ....and I am sending above very interesting video how to do the corners in one go. ...

    • @CharlieDIYte
      @CharlieDIYte  Před rokem

      Ah, Jan, thanks so much for your message. Blimey that's a lot of money isn't it, to earn in a day!! They probably used those wooden forming tools. I wonder how they did the corners as they wouldn't have time to wait for the vertical to set. Thanks again and good to great from you. The UK missed you too, my friend 👊

    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.

  • @trevorredman7182
    @trevorredman7182 Před 4 lety

    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.
