    Silicon this bit or leave it?

    Finished the tiling and grouting and the wooden strip has been removed, just wondering if I should put some white or black Silicon under the tiles? There's the black beading on the top but I didn't put it along the bottom. Should I just leave it alone? What would you guys do? Cheers.
