I tried a silicone Bahco spanner once, I found it a bit rubbery.

Can't beat smoothing a nice neat line of silicone with a poisonous Japanese fish

Lolly sticks dipped in a mild washing up liquid and water mix give a smashing finish !

tend to use a small bowl of white spirit, water, fairy and saliva all leave stuff that fungi and mouldi stuff grows on leaving it to blacken quicker. most important bit of kit is a roll of good qulity masking tape to ensure you get the thinnest and tidiest joint, all down to preparation for tidy finish

masking tape lp? ive seen lads spend more time faffing around with that method than it took to throw the bath in in the first place.

brilliant they are. i was well skeptical at first having tried various other formers in the past, but these are quick and easy to use, no mess, no fuss job done.

like I said a proper tradesman going for a decent finish will mask it and not leave a film of silicone that peels back after a week, but everyone to their own.
