The trick with siliconing corners is to start with the vertical wall-grout line and let that bond (I actually left mine to bond overnight). After bonding Cramer recommend working on the floor-grout starting out of the corners in both directions, but I prefer to start just off one corner and then continue all the way around the corner in one continuous motion. That way you get a lovely clean corner and because you let the vertical silicone joint to go hard, you don't interfere with or damage the vertical line when you draw the tool around the corner.

I'm 70 years old and have applied sealant countless times using various methods. I watched your video, paying particular attention to your research arguments. They made complete sense. I purchased a Fugi kit and followed all your advice on using it. I can honestly say that I have never done such a good job. Thank you

Hi there am a bathroom fitter and I could say your advice to DIY people is better than the average bathroom fitter. It's the finishing that gives any new renovated bathroom that unique look. This guy is showing you lot the perfect way to silicone do it his way and you can do it for living.

Every detail covered without a bit of wasted dialog. Many WRONG techniques debunked. The heart of a dedicated teacher. Thank you.

Growing up without a father to teach me these skills I appriciate greatly that I am still able to learn.

Clear and to the point with no distracting background music or superfluous flannel.

I’ve been a decorator for 30 years and I’ve always cut my caulk/silicone nozzles at a 45* angle.After watching your video I’ve realised I’ve been doing it wrong for all these years, and I’m now getting perfect results.Many thanks and great videos👍👍

[wesleykoot]

You are a legend. After twenty years of doing almost all what not to do tips in your first video on chaulking, and feeling insecure on re-siliconing my bathroom, i can now go to sleep, waking up like silicone - man, the new and improved DIY Hero! Thank you so much. These tips are a life saver!

This guys advice is amazing. I did a near perfect job of applying silicone as he advised. It seriously look neat and was easy to do. Made me feel confident. Sometimes the best teachers are the non-experts because the experts just carry on doing what they’ve always done but others re-evaluate ways of doing things with evolving technology and tools. Well done mate. The best silicone application video ever. And buy from his links in the description.

Thank you! When we moved into our new (old) home 20 yrs ago I hired a handyman to re-caulk all the bathrooms and they looked beautiful just like this. I have never seen another handyman that could do it so perfectly so I decided to get on YouTube and learn how to do it myself. Thank you very very much!

[davidsewell]

Charlie, your videos are absolutely brilliant! You explain everything clearly and concisely and then go on to demonstrate using excellent videography. You have addressed everything that I have had issues with in the past in your earlier video, and now you've shown how to deal with corners and uprights in a very comprehensive and straight forward manner, using the best tools for the job. I have now ordered the shaping tool you demonstrated and look forward to completing my shower installation having followed your tuition. Keep making videos....please! Your explanations are exactly what I need and following your example makes DIY a joy and not a chore. Thank you so efforts are genuinely appreciated!

Thanks for this, I have made several poor attempts at removing and resealing our shower trays in the past. My efforts have been pretty poor. This video has improved my standard of work considerably. Thank you

[derbydrifter]

Genius! Just watched your two siliconing videos Charlie and you've set me up for life. Thank you. I'v been in the building game for 40 years and can't agree more about cutting the nozzle at 90 degrees and pointing it into the joint.

The Best and Complete ever How To and how not to video on siliconing the corners. Absolutely perfect video, thanks! five Oscars from me!

[mariodepaulo]

I've seen a ton of tile, caulking, grouting videos, and yours is by far the best I've seen. From your methods, including "minor mistakes", to your tool usages and recommendations, to your focus on perfection (though you do not talk of this), Well done, superb instruction and explanations. Thank you.

[BrianWMay]

Used this system last night, Cramer 7 bought with your recommendation and delighted with the results.

The hint about the right angle piece to remove errors was priceless. The other thing was I was using brand new sanitary silicone rather than one that had been sitting in my shed since the last job. It seemed to flow easier.

Thank you so much for putting in the effort and having such an easy attitude and presentation technique.

[FROGSHAIR]

I have never siliconed and I believe these videos by Charlie, are the most believable and trustworthy, for excellence. I hope to report back upon completion of my project(s).

[stephenbriggs]

Purchased the Fugitive kit after watching your video and managed much better results even as a DIY person. Best informative video I have found. Thanks Charlie.

[momzilla]

Thank you Charlie. Your corner technique of doing the vertical joints first, and letting them dry overnight
is awesome. It taught me so much.
Then the warning that by spraying the silicone before scraping, will leaved gaps! Brilliant.
As a matter of fact it is so good that I am going to send
this video to my son!
He lost his dad when he was only 15, and now that he is 25, he has started working in the Trades.
Awesome lesson and a beautiful job.

[marokdia]

I dont normally comment, but silicone has been a challenge for me. I bought these tools and followed this video. The results are perfect!! Tried many ways from many videos but this has finally made me proud of my work. Thanks you for this!!!

[webmastermail]

Charlie your videos make the most sense out of all the silicone vids I've watched. Great tip for corners to do one continuous move into and around the corner - thanks.
