Doesn’t say Fugi anywhere in the instructions but it says ‘Cramer Fugi’ in the description on Amazon so I hope it’s the same thing. It's the same as mine except you have an additional grey thingy, but then mine's a few years old now. What is the grey thingy for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 That's it, draw a bead on @Onoff! Leave me alone. I'm not well and feeling sorry for myself. Don't even have the strength for a witty retort! Christ knows where this came from, been going downhill all week. At first I thought it was the silicone fumes but I could have just as easily caught something on the Tube. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Back In The Land Of The Living in the words of Linda Mertens! I re-did the pockets. Peeled all the silicone out and cleaned. This time I did the six verticals first and left to dry. Then I did the short returns and horizontals at the same time. Up close? Well, this is about the best. Next time I'll do verticals and leave to dry. Then short returns and let them dry. Lastly the horizontals. A pain getting the little blue Fugi tool into the corners and you disturb the adjacent horizontal if still wet. And this was even working out from the corner. Happy enough with the 5mm bead along the shelf: However... The junction where the pen is I'd CT1'd. Thought I'd left it low enough. I hadn't! The 5mm tool caught the lumpy CT1. Tried 8mm, 10mm then 12mm. Even at 12mm the white needs to be thick to look "white". Amazingly the super translucent CT1 shows through as a dark line! So I've ripped it all out..... Going to risk just the white silicone with the 5mm tool.....when I get some more! Edited February 18, 2019 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Happy enough with the majority of the bath deck sealing, 8mm: I'll live with this: I got fed up looking at the silicone at the wall / floor join: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Next problem the internal corner to the right of the towel rail: 5mm at the bottom, 10mm at the top: I've taken out the Forever White I had in there. (Also removed the wall/floor perimeter silicone). There's some grout already in there a few mm below. Thinking just to re grout over the top? Says it's good for up to 20mm wide.

Choose your fugi size based on the widest point and run a bead of forever white (or grey) down there and that 5-10mm will be hidden and forgotten about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the awkward what to do question then at the top where it has to blend into the horizontal 3" long bead in the corner of the shelf? Why not grout can I ask?
