Nicely explained. It's given me the confidence to have a go at the shower and sink. Thanks.

I am a DIYer and I am terrible at calking. Both of videos are very informative. Thanks from across the pond, old man!

I purchased the smoothing tools as demonstrated, followed the video guide - perfect! The easiest and best results I've ever had when trying to silicone at home, thank you!

Made husband watch this after he’d completed a not so good job. Good clear instructions for us struggling amateurs who want to get it right.

Thank you so much, I am a female trying to do new things on my own. This was the best how to video I have ever seen. Thanks for the best lesson from Chicago Illinois. xx

This was massive help for me as I had no idea where to start. Very happy with the results. Thanks for the post mate 👍

Great video, thanks.

Have tried many different methods over the years and this is the one that has given me the best results. Most important thing of all is to have plenty if tissue to-hand, as a non-pro you will either put too much or too little on. The spray helps to keep the silicone workable for a bit longer as well, which you’ll need as an amateur. If your walls are out-of-true, don’t use the tile-shaped tools as they won’t run-up the ealls correctly; bitter experience has taught me this! In those circumstances, your finger would be better, or the type of tool this chap is using. Good luck!

Thank for the video. Please make some more. They are great.

Love the baking analogy !

What a brilliant video! I’ve just done my shower tray and toilet and it looks professional! Thank you 😊

Once again, well done Mate!

Brilliant tips mate,keep up the good work 👍

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for teaching us!

Interesting informative well presented video Gonz! You definitely should be presenting on the tele!

Washing Up Liquid = Dish Soap for us Yanks. Thanks for a great video. I've purchased all the tools and am ready to do a great job. One of the best videos out there on the topic.

Great video mate 👍🏻

Excellent job ! I've made some adjustments to my techniques and saved time and half of the mess.

Great video. Thanks for the information

Well done....much appreciated.

Great video and a big help!

Very helpful. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thanks a lot for sharing the video.

Excellent video. Thank you!

very well done and informative- thank you

Awesome video!! Thank you

Great video...I will try this method.

Excellent video! just what I needed!

Well that was fun! Now I am a new member! Enjoyed that immensely, thank you!

Nice video and explanation thank you.

Excellent tutorial, cheers

Great video for beginners. Good effort 👌

Excellent video, well put together, shall be applying this method from now on.many thanks

great tutorial, thank you

Brilliant, always put this off. But worked really well

Best video I have watched on how to caulk and i have watched a lot of them!

The best video in youtube, thanks.

Thanks, lol yeah it’s funny how you end up watching this after getting your silicons work all messy.... but looking forward to using these techniques next time. Nice work, you’ve made it look easy!

fabulous video. great ideas.

This is such a useful video, I’m sealing my shower tomorrow, thank you

Method and tools worked very well. Solid video this.

Great video thanks

I have founf your tutorial most professional and helpful. Don't take to heart small criticism; applying sealants is an art, and there will always be unimportant criticism. There are some very, very capable out there. I could never learn from them. They are not teachers. They are artists. Subscriber.

Thanks for the video. Wish Screwfix was here in the U.S. The major hardware stores here have similar products but I haven't found the exact set you have. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! My daughter applied silicone awhile back and it is awful! There’s dry residue and mold everywhere in it, too! The sink leaks around the edges. I have to remove it all and redo three sinks, two bathtubs and around the bottoms of two toilets. Your method will be very helpful. My daughter used a compressor but she didn’t cut the silicone tube tip larger or at an angle. She didn’t use the tool the way you did, on one plane, then the other. She didn’t use the water spray. I can’t fault my daughter because she tried to help but failed with no experience or instruction. I’m sure l or we will do better on this very soon. It will be a relief to get the project off the to-do list and off my mind! 🚽🚰🛁

What an amazing accent, i can listen this guy tutorials all day long!💕 Love British lads!

this tutorial is even better thanks

Thank you. Im about to start learning about this

Very well explained

Very good & professional video . . . Thank you

Mate you r the best

Excellent

I like his talking. British dialect always sounds more authoritative than those in the US, and especially so compared to our accent here in the MIdwest. Listening to it helps me learn how to talk good ;-)

Great video, my shower is looking nice again!

Well done Geo, COYI⚒

What is it in the bottle ? All you said was it is what is needed but never said what is it . This is the difference between good explanation and great explanation

Just wanted to say thanks for this video (and the on-the-job one) and for the tool recommendation. I needed to do apply a bunch of sealant around the house today, and usually it'd end up look vaguely okay-ish. But with your suggestion I was off to screwfix to get the tool, used as you demonstrated, and the work was much neater than I would normally have produced - even the wife thought it was a pretty good job! ;-)

Good video geeza

good video ..... but what do you do about a corner where some of the silicone or grout has been removed from the corner tile wall ...

This tutorial is great, could you make a video on how you would apply silicone to a flat surface like a kitchen sink?

Superb. Wish I had known this years ago.

This is one job I used to absolutely detest as I could never get it to look any good and ended up with silicone everywhere. The method I used previous to this was making tape but that just made it take long and, in most cases, I'd either leave the making take on too long which resulted in a lot of the silicone pulling off or there would be a kind of lip /ridge where the silicone had met the tape. I bought the same tool as you use in the video and this worked fantastically - I've just sealed the whole of a new shower enclosure and I'm very happy with the job. One thing I would be interested to know is if you have any tips for doing corners as this was the only fiddly bit I encountered this time. Great video.

Would be interested to know if you have tips on using these products on a backsplash where the faucet can get in the way? Thanks for remaking the video!

Excellent couple of videos. I bought and used the Cramer profiling kit (No 7) and found it produced very good joints. I didn't use the washing up / water solution spray to finish but will in future. However, one question - how do you achieve a silicone joint with whole (uncut) Metro tiles sitting on top of a worktop, i.e. the bevel edge sits with a 3mm gap on the worktop? In this case it's not a 90 degree angle.

I needed to replace the silicone in my walk in/wet room shower , previously I used the masking tape technique with variable and messy results. This time I followed your method and have had really good results . I have difficulty with the internal 90degree corners, they end up untidy, so next time maybe you could include how to do them your video Keep up the good work.

Awesome video. I use denatured alcohol in a spray bottle :)

This video is great, do you have one showing how to do inside corners?

Thank you 😊 I was advised to use a hairdryer to remove the old. Also a hairdryer to remove the two sided sticky tape for the cellophane draught excluder which goes over windows. The sticky tape is difficult to remove from the UPVC window surround and I cannot afford to renew now, so I have to use that stuff in winter.

Apparently it's not just West Ham fans who are divided. The silicone community are at each others throats too!

Thanks for a great video Already better than how I have ever done it. What edge are you using when tidying it up? Flat or the tapered? Also how do I clear up the excess water which is on the good seal? Many thanks

nice one cheers

that is a thing of beauty ! 🤙

I have been using CT1 I'm a novice at this but I sealed my exterior of my caravan and it works very well no more leaks. Any views on CT1? Great vid mate

Nice video how do you get a neat finish when silicone between bath and tiles ?thanks

Thanks Chris Packham!

I was waiting for you to talk about West Ham Gonzo,what's going on? 🤣. Well done anyway mate.

Should I get the silicone tool for concave or straight? They have both at Screwfix. Which did you use? Thanks. This has really helped me.

Great video well explained, when sealing around sanitary wear in tiled bathrooms, how do you stop the silicone tool from going into the joints in the tile and then leaving a indent in the silicone bead🤔 thanks

A good instructional video but what about the really awkward parts such as the corners and behind the taps?!!

Thanks for the video. Do you have any tips on getting behind a hob/sink/taps where you can't get the tool in?

It works on our video when having perfectly smooth and straight surface. In real work, there are grout gaps in between tiles, corners and uneven surfaces.

Very precise, thanks. I also heard you can use window cleaner without ammonia...

Hi, could you tell me if the no nonsense smoothing tools is the set for straight joints or concave joints that you have used as I don't know which one to buy. Thank you

Thanks mate

Very good job my friend, I live in México where can I get that tools or molding for caulking.. Thanks friend.

Good vid, how do you deal with the grout gaps though when running the rubber tool along the edge, try to keep level as if they are not there?

Can you do a video of how to hang a bathroom mirror with mirror adhesive and without drilling any holes in tiles etc?

I know there are negative comments - but good video ... esp tips on using tools forwards & reversed. On tiles (grout breaks or textured surface - I would use masking tape - but nothing against using these tools with tape. Well done mate.

I do this almost everyday you have not got it rite you have it handy man rite . A real professional tradesman does not give up his secrets hence this video. If I made this video it would be correct and completed and fully explained in 1:30 seconds . A tradesman does not give up his secrets for youtube sell out .

Watched both videos and then had a go at doing the bath.got the silicone on reasonably ok and used the same green tool you used .when I tried to clean the excess from the tool it just stuck to the tool.sprayed it with the water and washing up mix which made the paper break up and just coated the tool in a thin sticky layer of silicone .tried to carry on but the silicone on the bath had started to drag and the spray did not help in any way and I finished up with the silicone looking terrible with me covered in the stuff.wife says it’s all got to come out and be redone

siliconetastic mastic video - fantastic

I would like to see how to silicon the joint between small kitchen tiles where the edges are slightly curved and the worktop. I have the tools as shown in your video but can imagine that the tool will follow in and out of the joint profiles.

Nice video. I find cleaning the area with a degreasant eg white spirit ensures the silicon never lifts. How about some advice on sealing up a half used tube and reusing one with a gunked up nozzle?

Best 15.02 minutes I've ever spent in my DIY life!!!

Just confused which ones to buy. Straight edge or concave edge set. I'm sealing between the floor (lino) and bath. Also the perimeter of the bathroom (lino to tiled wall). Also will be using these to seal a basin to a tiled wall

Does this tool work on acrylic sealants?

I’d love to see this exact demonstration using jointed tile.

Serious question: can you install a complete new bathroom for me, I am in Hertfordshire?

Great job Mate. Never mind, you’re always gonna get negative comments, I’ll opt for the spray bottle. ThankYou for the video. Question; do you have a video on cleaning the nozzle and saving the silicone for next use please?
