cut the nozzle at an angle to the desired bead width & pull the gun at the same angle, don’t push it; the trick is to apply the bead in one fast, continuous action using moderate pressure on the trigger. With practice you will get a nice even bead every time. The mistake practically everyone makes is to apply the bead too slowly; a natural thing to do but it usually has the opposite to the desired effect. All you have to do to finish it off is spit on your finger & run it along the bead; or if you don’t like the taste of silicone, use a drop of watered down Fairy Liquid as Woody suggests.
You wanna run me through that again?You should have a small 2mm gap to allow for expansion. I silicone in 2 stages; leave the nozzle uncut & inject between the bottom of the tile & tray & scrape off any excess flush, cut the nozzle to the appropriate size & run a second bead between the face of tile & the top of the tray, smooth off & job done; none of my showers leak.
How do you seal "between tile and tray" if you left "no gap"?No gap you just increase risk of leaks by leaving gap, you seal the tray to the wall , tile down to tray and seal again between tile and tray giving a double seal against the water.
