How to Silicone Seal Tips with Cramer Fugi 5 Kit

How to apply silicone sealant with the Fugi 5 Profile Kit.

This multifunctional tool can be used for many flexible sealants and caulks.

Application of masking tape and cleaning afterwards is no longer necessary. Due to the design of the FUGI there is no need to use a releasing agent and the desired form of sealing can be applied without leaving a greasy-film. Mistakes can be repaired by simply re-grouting, however, this works only if the sealing-grout/caulk has not yet bonded (Cellulite-skin surface).

All pastes, silicone, acrylic and polyurethane can be applied as a sealant, and flexible grouts are able to be formed with the FUGI paying attention to the Manufacturer's instructions.

By holding the FUGI so that it fits seamlessly to the wall and floor, slight pressure is applied so the flexible cutting edges fit well into the wall angle. Always use the absolutely smooth edge for spreading. Work step by step, by only doing short distances. Should the sealant go above the FUGI, stop spreading, and clean FUGI with a household paper towel.

The FUGI can be used on all smooth, rough or wave-like surfaces. When working on uneven surfaces push a little harder onto flexible edges.

Not a bad effort, great method for beginners. I am a Sealant Applicator myself and i do appreciate how hard it can be to get a good bead. I use tooling sticks made from pine strip wood. Ive got many videos on my channel if you are interested in seeing another method 🥳

LOL....I agree. The toughest part is knowing when to not touch it. My rule is if it's 95% of perfect....leave it alone...it's good enough.

I never knew silicone was so complicated. Learned a lot, thanks!

I use Fugi kit all the time.... here's my tips
Buy the pack of three from Tool Station. You'll only need these three. The red ones are a waste.

Use builders wipes as you go rather than tissues and soapy water. Try not to get the 'plasticky' wipes that feel like plastic bags, the 'cottony' once are best. Cheap ones are fine.

If you have to form into a 3 way corner, like corner of a bath or shower where the two walls meet the surface, I recommend you do the upright silicon bead first, and then let it dry before you do the other two. Trying to neatly finish the point where 3 beads meet is a nightmare.

Lastly, don't let customers see how easy it is to do with these tools. Let them marvel at how skillful and neat you are. Bask in the glory.

Using silicone is like a metaphor for life

You only get one chance and if you don't get it right it's hard to fix

Had a mastic man come to our site to finish off the bathrooms, all he had was a bag full of wood that hes shaped and used that, , made it look so easy, but then any trade makes their job look easy to others.

1:38 ... bit of wonky mosaic tiling there...

[paulmac]

the sticky uout fit he didnt know what it was for is to clean the grout line 👌👍

[colemaynard]

Thanks a great video with some helpful tips!

[angelinthedocks]

A job well done. Looks like the Fugi kit is the way forward.

[norm]

Why wouldn't you mask off the mosaic tiles? Takes a couple minutes and saves all the mess.

[superluvdub]

Excellent explanation on the way you think when executing . Thank you

[drewscreen]

Great video, with honest advice. Thanks! What do you suggest for cleaning the Fugi tool if some silicone cures on it? Would acetone be advisable?

[jonfenwick]

videos like this are extremely usefull

[KingKong-cyzf]

Which are better to use the concave or straight bits thanks

[markrainford]

One question. Why white silicone on a grey surface with grey tiles and grey grout?

[matthewjohns]

If you don't have the fugi kit to hand, do your silicone line as normal, spray with soapy water, squeeze the end of an empty silicone tube to form a small radius then run that down your silicone line which scoops up all excess and leaves no mess, then if necessary lightly run your finger across. That's if you don't have the fugi kit of course 👍🏻

[ljones]

All in all, that's a bit of a shoddy job around the vanity, which is a shame, but those fujis are invaluable!

I saw another program that said Not to use detergent/ soapy water because the silicon will not stick to any surface that has the detergent.

The best way to apply a silicone bead or any sealant is painters tape on both sides smooth is with you finger. Then remove the tape carefully and gently go over it with your finger dipped into soapy water to get a nice smooth consistent edge. Plus lots of paper towel.
