silicone

does anyone do it ever ? I've not personally done it but have seen people do it, how does it effect the seal?

Picked these up today...

Can anyone recommend the best Silicon sealant there is/you have used that is highly flexible/good quality/mould resistant and will last for a long time? Don't care about the price as I need only a tube of it, preferable something that either toolstation or screwfix stocks? Thanks in advance!

How long do your fugi tools last? After 6 months it feels like the main ones aren't as good as they were, leaving some residue. Can you just buy the blue square one on its own ?

im on the look out for a new Silicon gun, can anyone recommend something good? I've used the standard type for years but seen some about that I assume are better and require less force etc?

Thought I'd ask the pros :) Finally have some time to finish my bathroom. I was coing to Silicon the internals and around the bath using mapei jasmine but have been advised that white on white looks better. Therefore I'm going for jasmine on the internals with white to the bath. Which should I...

Morning all, Just wanted peoples thoughts on finishing metro tiles, specifically in the corners? Even with nice cutting you still get a diamond effect in the corners that in some cases depending on the depth difference of the metro edge can look a bit off. Do you guys scribe in to minimise this...

Hi I am tiling a conservatory floor with porcelain tiles and the walls are unplastered face brick. Do I grout or silicon where the two materials join? Thanks. Gnasher

Hello, I noticed recently that my builder may have made a mistake when tiling some little mosaics ( Polished Marble 2.5cm x 5cm) in between large wall tiles in the middle of the shower enclosure area area (wall behind where the rain shower comes out from) I noticed some of the grout was going a...

Well, I've been on with the fugi for a few months now since everyone was raving about it on here, and at first I wasn't sure but I am improving with it, my verdict is, it's good for producing a bead of various different thicknesses, but I find the soapy finger is still needed to give it the...

What's your method? I have always cut tight to the ceiling and grouted. I've seen a few pics where it looks like some have siliconed to ceiling, who does that?

I used Weber grey grout and Weber grey Silicon. I used a profiling tool to tool the Silicon. I then noticed that the grout would not dry on the horizontal grout line within the shower. Obviously I have smeared a thin layer of Silicon across the grout and it has gone a bit shiny! I don't...

Hi all, Just a diy'er with...Silicon advice this time if I may beg. I have done my fair share of siliconing in the past, but never really had to pay much attention to the finer points. Now I have come to seal my newly tiled bathroom I think I have made a catalog of mistakes. Let me list them...

Bought one tube of limestone Silicon for ensuite I did the other day. Final bead to be done was along back of window sill and the cartridge trigger started firming up and I was barely halfway. I was willing it to go the distance, proper bead whispering. Final death squeeze on the trigger and it...

I have tiled my shower recess and grouted with Weber grey grout. Obviously I will use white Silicon between the tile bottoms and the tray. I intend to use grey Silicon for the two vertical corners. What should I use between the tops of the tiles and the white painted ceilings; I assume white...

Which coloured Silicon is a close match for the above grout? My customer has provided the grout but not the Silicon.(From recollection,I don't think FE do a coloured matching Silicon) Or........I ditch the FE grout and get another brand??

A quick question please.....Do I use Silicon or grout on the joints between tile and aluminium L shaped trim around my window reveals and external corners. I imagine the joint wont move when grouted both sides but would like to know best practice. I've seen both Silicon and grout...
