Trying to re-silicone my shower enclosure:
[1] remove all old silicone. [2] apply thin bead of new silicone along junction to be sealed [3] run wet finger or similar shaped tool along bead of new silicone pushing excess ahead of tool.Now what am I doing wrong? The excess builds up in front of my finger until there is too much and it then deposits either side of the bead like a little snow drift!
I assume that this means that there is too much silicone laid down in the first place but if I don't put enough down I get gaps in the smoothed bead.
All this is even worse were I'm sealing the side panels into the wall fixings because I'm trying to seal against only a 1.5mm edge where two panels meet rather than into a 90 deg corner.
TIA
