MY 12 GOLDEN RULES FOR THE PERFECT SILICONE JOINT
Degrease joints first with methylated spirit or acetone
Use the right silicone for your joint high or low modulus
Use a FUGI Silicone Profiling Tool
Look for the greatest gap & select smallest tool to cover gap + 2/3mm
Cut the silicone nozzle at 90 degrees ie straight across &
Push the silicone into the joint
Aim to cover 2 not 3 sides of the joint
Use adapter for smooth lines over transverse joints
Work in short sections
Corners up first then right to left
Clean Fugi with paper towel when finished

WHAT NOT TO DO
Don't use tape
Don't use your finger
Don't shape silicone in a concave profile
Don't use water & detergent
Don't cut the nozzle really small or at 45 degrees
Don't pull the nozzle along the joint
Try not to cover all 3 sides of the joint
