I have been researching this via Youtube videos for the last few weeks and am a bit confused as to how you tidy up the silicone once you have your bead laid down. I have my Fugi kit and have tried it out and it wasn't too successful as the silicone (Gorilla white) felt like it was starting to...

Hi all, I'm currently undertaking a project to redesign the way in which caulk and silicone sealant is packaged due to the unsustainable nature of the rigid cartridges most commonly used. If anyone could spend 5 minutes filling out the survey below it would be greatly appreciated...

Hi All, Just bought a house with an ensuite in a fairly recent extension. The room is tilted with posh marble tiles and has a walk in low level shower tray. The tiles are long thin rectangles, may be 3" high and 24” long. Because the tiles are thin and the height of the tray, the first row of...
