I use those and they are a most excellent addition to a tool box. I used to use small offcuts of timber formed to shape but rarely use that method now.


call me an anorak, but I can't wait to try one, lol, I see so many odd ball "gadgets" coming to the market these days, it's hard to cut the wheat from the chaff, but now iv'e joined UHM I can read these excellent posts from people who have bought the T shirt thank you!

yeah, I think you guys should post more photo's, luv em, had a chat to the Chezmyster & he says UHM has massive amounts of bandwidth on his new server so more pics's shouldn’t be a problem.

A good tip for these silicone tools is to dip them in a solution of water and washing up liquid.

Makes them glide over the silicone better :wink:

i have the fugen kit off ebay,
not used it much and i need more practice but last job i did was white tile and gloss black worktop, it did a real good job, i used the 45 degree profile as i think it looks better than round, i wish they were an inch bigger tho to hold them better,

for the masking tape ive found 3M 3434 tape to be good, its the blue tape that car detailers use to protect black trim when machine polishing cars, its designed to adhere to car trim which is always covered in bumpershine stuff, and peels off without leaving residue

CILLIT BANG!!!!

Thinned down with water (75%) half dozen lengths of timber carved (or split) into different widths. and something to scape the small excess of on. A light touch is the key.

Seal - spray - smooth - walk away smiling :-)
