I know this is an old thread, but what a great one! Just looked for a tip how to remove old Silicon and how to stop the rest in the tube from drying out and hadn't thought of the tightfitting screw, (I know I should have) - great!

The siliconing is just the way Darren taught us and works a treat - especially when the process doesn't get interrupted by a phonecall that can't be ignored, which means the surplus silicon had been left to sit there for half an hour and now I got to take it all off and start again...:mad2: what a right mess....:incazzato:not good for a perfectionist... off to get some silicon eater which will hopefully be in stock somewhere in town....:incazzato:😛rrr:

As with Dave, Silicon a nice bead, then spray with water/washing liquid mix and pick a finger to suit the finish i want.
Not fond of the Silicon tools i have tried even the KD ones.

the reason you dont use sylivia (spit) is the bacteria in your mouth is forced into Silicon and causes it to go moldy real quick (normaly black in color ):8:

Same method I use but I silcone BEFORE I Grout then I don't have to chip grout out of the gaps.

baby wipes are amazing for siliconing wipe your finger with the baby wipe and rub across Silicon, continue till you get a perfect clean joint.
