silicone / caulking finishing tool

[mranonymous]

I am currently redoing the silicone sealant in my shower and am wondering where I can buy a finishing tool somewhere in Pattaya. I have tried HomePro on Pattaya Klang and Boonthavorn with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find one of these in Pattaya? (please see attached pictures).

Also if anyone has any other suggestions how I can get a nice finish on the silicone that'd be great to know also.

Go to 7-11 and buy a Magnum.

 

 

You'd be surprised how many things can be fixed by jamming some caulk into them. Got a really big hole try some African black caulk.

The nozzle dispenser on the tube should be all that you need, failing that wet your finger.

Theres nothing better and quicker.

 

I watched a few of those videos on silicone caulking and the unbiased ones say those plastic tools are pretty useless and over engineered when a plastic nozzle, folded cardboard, a wet finger, a section of plastic water pipe will sort it quicker.

The ideal scenario though is to cut your nozzle at the right angle and size and pull it one time only.

In the first Vid she demonstrates how to using painters tape each side and a wet finger. Seems like a very good idea. She just pulls the tape and there is a perfect finish with no mess

Like most things, its just one of those jobs that takes a bit of practice.

beginners tend to go too slow and are unable tomaintain the same pressure on the gun trigger.

The result, thick here thin there, wavy lines.

The trick is to look at your run A to B and start with your intention to take that run in one hit, keep the nozzle travelling at a moderate pace and concentrate more on keeping the angle steady and the trigger squeeze steady.

It will look fine and it will be consistant.
