SEALANT

[Rico99]

Hi there,

When using washingup liquid as a release agent on sealant, do oyu use it neat or make up a weak mix and use a spray bottle.

Cheers

Personally I never use it,as long as you smooth each run as soon as its in place it's fine.Others tend to use it in a spray bottle mixed with water.Always work from the corners outwards when smoothing and have a piece of card or something handy to scrape the excess from your finger.

Nope, don't use it either.

How do they justify the price of those?

um i used to be scared of making a poor job doing silicon im a gas fitter not a bathroom fitter but now with my fugis its easy.
I also found out one of them ideal for removing the plumber mate from sanitary wastes without marking the china
