This silicone smoothing tool is very basic and cheap. Its the general case of you get what you pay for. There are only 2 widths for the 45 degree application, 10mm and 16mm. It is possible to make a good job with practice. Vertical tile joints are a problem especially with wide spacing. There are much superior kits available which are excellent. These are £15 to £20. So it depends how much you want to spend and how often you use it.

If you've ever tried to silicone a sink/ bath / counter tops etc, then you'll know just how hard it is to achieve a really satisfying edge over tiles and other finishes. I have used this item over and over again, sometimes cutting it to achieve a perfect line behind a constricted space such as taps, but at this price you just buy another one and keep the 'modified' one for a later job that needs it! I would say that a little practice with the filler is paramount as you'll find you need a lot less than you think. So the idea is to run a line of filler along the two surfaces (which MUST be clean and free of any dirt or water) and then run the finishing tool along the same line taking care to try and keep a smooth action to the end. Any faults or missing filler should be rectified and gently run the tool again. With practise I found I could achieve a result that would have cost a bomb without it. Hope this review helps a little!

Probably the most dreaded DIY job around showers and baths is making the sealant look neat and tidy. Look no further this is it. It really works.
