Pocster Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Here was my plan to turn a dog into a unicorn ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Decided to try the silicone on the tiles . A test run . Choose a corner where the sink is going , completely unnecessary but a good test . So just a vertical line ontop the grout in the corner Think I did ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Sigh! I'm struggling with the ensuite recesses . To silicone an easy access wall corner using fugi thingies no problem. To try and do the same in the recess is just to awkward - it looks a bit crap ( hence no photo ). Overall I'm not happy with the ensuite recess trim - wish I bought a recess you don't tile and just goes straight in! Anyway! I could use the mitre corner edges to cover the opening edges ( as I plan to use in the bathroom recesses ). But I'm struggling to find any 'trim' for all the recess internal joins. I suppose I could reverse the corner edge to make an 'L' on the inside. Not really sure......... Or of course I could not worry as no one will ever notice apart from me!!!. The issue is these bloody hex tiles. The surface undulates as they are textured so to get a nice straight mastic line is almost impossible... f ucking tiles - SWMBO's fault !

PeterW Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 @pocster have you got a decent Cramer / Fugi silicone set as they have guide runners for doing uneven tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. I bought a set of 4 - i.e. a variety of shapes. I'll bite th bullet and put some photo's up tomorrow. I've been over and re-siliconed it twice - but not having a nice flat vertical surface is a pain. Edited November 23, 2020 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Remember you're not alone! I did my silicone then took it all out and redid with the Fugi kit: Pockets were a pita to do. Still not happy with bits (quite a few actually). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as I said on nice easy access corners ( as Demo’d on the sink corner ) I was more than happy . Must admit - it’s ocd ; which I never had until I started tiling . Agree , once filled with female crap you won’t see the tiles let alone any silicone ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
