    Floor grout removal

    If you are careful and the area you are cleaning up is small, then a multi tool, diamond tipped blade is fine, plus another vacuum bag !!. For larger areas, or when tidying up a new installation prior to grouting, I use the Ox grout hand file, and the replacement blades are cheap enough. Plus...

    Silicon brand

    All, thanks for your thoughts / replies. Ive never tried Weber before, so, if I find some I’ll give it a go. Will also give (coloured) Mapesil a try, looks like it’s widely available. Agree with the comments about Dow, seems like it’s a go-to product if using white.
