Shower cubicle mastic ...

Siliconing around after DIY jobs is something I hate, I always seem to get it all over my hands & clothes & then there's the stink as it's curing, usually the end result looks ok though.

I suspect as someone else said, I apply too much...
 
I was prepared this time. Wearing gloves, applied very little (started to worry me in places) and the soap spray worked miracles in cleaning the tiles.

As long as the water does not disappear between the tiles and the mastic I am happy :D
 
All the trays etc i silicone I just use my middle finger. It’s a good idea to lick your finger first to stop the silicone sticking. As mentioned you only need to cut a tiny bit off of the tube and cut it at a 45 degree angle.

I did have a fugi kit but seem to get a neater job with my middle finger, no tape and no soap.

I think it’s just practice. I used to be shocking at it but have done loads as I’m a plumber. Worst case it can always be picked off.
