FAQs
What materials are the tools made of?
The tools are made of durable Polypropylene (PP).
Can I use these on acrylic sealants?
Yes, these tools are compatible with silicone and most standard acrylic sealants.
How many pieces are included in the set?
The set includes 4 individual pieces, each with different profiles.
Is the silicone cutter replaceable?
The cutter is built into the tool design; keep the edge clean to maintain cutting efficiency.
Do I need to use masking tape with these tools?
While not strictly required, using tape can still provide extra protection for delicate surfaces, though the tools are designed to provide clean edges without it.
Troubleshooting
Silicone sticking to the finishing tool
Lightly mist the tool with a soapy water solution before dragging it across the bead.
Uneven finish or gaps in the seal
Ensure steady, continuous pressure is applied and move at a consistent speed along the joint line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these tools. Simply select the tool profile that best matches the desired radius of your silicone joint. Compatibility is universal across standard silicone and acrylic sealants. To maintain your tools: wipe off excess silicone immediately after use while it is still wet. If silicone cures on the tool, it can usually be peeled off easily due to the non-stick properties of the polypropylene. Avoid using sharp metal blades to scrape the tool surfaces, as this may compromise the profile accuracy.
