There was an earlier thread regarding some plastic tools for shaping silicone. It was called Fuegi boy .. or something. I have googled but ... no dice.
From the link on diy, I bought a set (German product) but some kind person has borrowed the tool and lost it !!
I would like to replace it with same. Anyone ?

Fugi or Fugenboy...
The former at screwfix, the latter at plumbworld

Yes and yes...
For the UK market, the product is called Fugenboy. For the French and German markets it's Fugen Ass.
The trick I found was to have a plastic basin with water and some drops of dishwashing liquid as a release agent. Then also have some sheets of kitchen paper on which to wipe your (Fugen) Ass as it collects silicone sealer from the joint.
Agreed & agreed. Wouldn't leave home without one.

The JML one is not as good (not crap, just not really any better than cutting up the lids of butter cartons). I've no idea why, it's probably something complicated about alchemy and surfaces.
If you want neat silicone, get a Fugenboy. Go to the shop and buy on, then you'll have one. There aren't many tools where uk.d-i-y says"Yes, pay the silly price for this gimmick, it really is worth it" (Bosch jigsaws, Fein Mutleymasters, Fugenboys, latex rubber tile sponges), but when we do, we mean it.
Screwfix sell them

Thanks for reminding me of the names to search with.
