My preparation was perfect. Took me bloomin ages to get the old sealnt off , clean and apply masking tape to the area . . . . it could not have been done better.
And the it took just 10minutes to put me back to square one where I have to start all over again.
After applying the sealant I ran a soapy finger over it to smooth it out . . . too hard I think as I had to reapply some sealant in areas where the amount of sealant looked too thin. So there is new sealant on top of a very small film of soapy water, my first error.
Secondly I took off the upper layer of masking tape . . . perfect . . . . But I think I was too slow in removing the lower layer. As I did remove the lower layer of masking tape a film of sealant came with it.
Its a mess . . . absolutely gutted. Arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!
I know what I've done wrong . . . . got the in-laws coming this weekend so got to get it done before they arrive.
