Caulk Caulking Silicone Sealant Finishing Tool Spreader Spatulas Applicator Rubber Tools 4 Size Set

My bead in my pic may not look as good as it could have because I ended up coming back to put on another layer after the silicone had already started to dry. It kinda made it look a little wavy. But I wasn’t happy with the thickness of my application in a couple problematic spots where the fiberglass was thin and needed additional support.These things ended up being much better than i expected. Which is such a weird experience when I’m usually deeply disappointed by impulse purchases. I’ve never been good at getting a clean looking bead from silicone or caulk around a tub. As I was prepping to reseal my tub, I just happened to view a short on social media recommending these tools. I thought they made the job look really quick, easy, and provided good results.You get 4 sizes. The packaging is nothing special. The quality of the tools is good enough, nothing special. You basically get a shaped silicone (I think) tip, that’s glued to a wooden handle. I ended up putting a little bit too much force on one when I was cleaning it and could hear the glue cracking a little bit. Nothing bad, just enough to make me realize I was being too rough.So you squirt out your silicone sealant, and use one of these tools to smooth out surface. This is where I was pleasantly surprised. The silicone sealant I was using really didn’t stick to the tip of these tools at all. It just gently glided across the surface of the applied silicone around the tub, and came off mostly clean, unless you had too much silicone sealant in your bead.These things made clean up so much easier than it normally would be. That’s their true value. Any extra silicone that got where it wasn’t wanted was super easy to clean up using these tools. And the benefit was it didn’t leave a sticky mess when I was done because it did such a good job of cleaning up the extra silicone. When I was smoothing the bead, I started with a size 2 (size 1 being smallest, size 4 being largest). But I ended up using a size 3 by the time I was done. For the price, I’d grab these for the ease of cleanup alone. I bought 2 tubes of silicone, but only ended up using one because there was so little waste.

These spatulas are a game changer if you are in the remodeling industry. They help smooth your beading. Easy to clean. Price reasonable.

good material, very good to work with

Current task was replacemenet of the 90 degree bath wall tile to bath tub seal.Used painter's tape to mark lines precisely. Used silicone caulk, not the new "Advanced Modified Polymer" (AMP) that failed to set after 3 days.The tender flexibility yet predictable toughness of these rounded tip spatula / spreaders made it easy to do a neat job. Use the appropriate size for the space you are filling taking advantage of their flexibility with the pressure you apply to the handle and angel of the drag.If you do use painter's tape as a guide just be sure to taper off the thickness of the caulking to minimum on the tape. If the caulking is too thick over the tape you'll have to be very careful how and when you pull the tape so the edges are well attached, smooth and subtle after the tape is removed.Good luck!!

Strange to have a caulking tool set and a small wood plane on the same Amazon page!I bought the 4-piece caulking tool set. Compared to the other three types of silicone caulking profilers that I bought and tried, this Korean-made set was the best. The rubbery profiling tip is softer and more pliable than the other, plastic types, and there is no problem with getting the tip into the corner between two walls at right angles. With the other types, if the angle is not 90° or greater, you can't get the tool all the way into the corner.I found only the smallest of the 4 profilers useful. The others are too big for my purposes. I notice that there is also an 8-piece set, which appears to have even smaller profilers.The rubbery tip gave a nice, smooth finish.

The media could not be loaded. One of the best tools under $20 for renovating your home. Never would have I imagined I needed help in the caulk department, yet here I am. Buy this now.
