When a new bath was installed the selant around the bath was poorly done.
When anyone got into a full bath...a gap appeared between the bath and the tiles.
I cleared out all the sealant.
Then I filled the bath and resealed around the bath and left it to dry for two days. No gap appears now.
Question
I found using the silicon sealant a tricky and messy job.
Although I eventually got the job done ...for what I thought was a simple job ...it took me ages.
I used a wet spoon to smooth over the sealant, but found all I was doing was collecting a spoon full of sealant (back of tea spoon).
I tried using a wet finger, but the sealant accumulated on my finger. When I tried to reapply the silicon fom my finger into the gap...everthing went pearshaped......the consistancy of the line of sealant was spoilt.
Question
I read in a book I could use masking tape above and below the gap....but all that resulted was lots of mess and silicon attaching to the tape.
Can anyone suggest the best way to do this task correctly and efficiently.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
