How to remove dried silicone sealant and apply a beautiful seam: a tool from China (+5 nozzles)
When repairing a bathroom, installing a sink, and other plumbing, you need to beautifully and accurately seal up the joints. Everyone must have used silicone sealant. Even beginners have no problem using it. Cracks and gaps are sealed with silicone. They are glued to glass, metal, plastic, ceramics, etc.
Very often, the side of a bathtub, shower tray or sink is sealed with a sealant so that moisture does not get in. Over time, even a high-quality sealant can darken, turn yellow, and lose its appearance.
Recently bought a tool for applying and removing silicone sealant.
The seam knife is made of durable plastic. Anti-slip handle will help provide a comfortable grip.
On one side, the metal nozzle is fixed with screws. This side of the tool is convenient for cutting off old sealant. Without this tool, it will be difficult to remove the silicone without damaging the surface. I would not like to use the chemical method either. For example, a Penta-840 sealant remover costs about 400 rubles.
It is also not convenient to remove the old sealant with an ordinary knife and you can scratch the surface. Therefore, I bought this tool for myself. The neighbor has already asked to borrow for a while.
In addition to removing dried, darkened sealant with this tool, it is convenient to level the freshly applied compound. Only before application it is necessary to clean the surface from dirt, dust and degrease.
I have never been able to apply the sealant in an even layer before. Smooth with a finger or a spatula. However, the seam was not pretty. It is a pity that I did not know about this device before.
On the other side of the knife there is a scraper and a pull-out part:
Silicone tips are easily put on it. Only 5 attachments for different applications of the sealant.
The seam turns out to be even and uniform along the entire length. What you need for work! I bought here at a discount (if anyone needs it):
All high quality, easy repair and good luck!
