Do-it-yourself pro results

Love love LOVE this product! I have also recommended it to others. If you don't know how to use this tool, I really recommend Youtuber CharlieDIYte's guide: How to Apply Silicone - The COMPLETE Guide for Pros. This is where I learned about this tool, this is where I learned how to apply silicone, and this tool and guide will have you going pro in no time! I like multiple tools for different sizes and edges. I still find this doesn't work well when the tile itself is uneven - you can sometimes see noticeable breaks in the line when going over the grout lines, so be sure to ease the pressure when going over these parts walk. . I'd also say work in small patches - it builds up a lot of sealant VERY quickly and then doesn't work effectively (and then you don't want the sealant drying on you etc). I have a feeling you should get the line right on the first try; It doesn't look good on the second or third try - I usually remove the seal and do it again. However, it is much better than the finger method and you can create really strong joints with it. 10/10 Would buy for a DIY friend!

Pros
  • Easy Silicone Guided Seal: 5 smoothing seals with 16 desired profile options and 2 guides. Cleverly placed guides help bridge crossings and prevent sagging when working on those grout lines. All mortising tools have 90° blades: this is the only way to properly fill the corners!
Cons
  • Discontinued
