baitfish 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2009 Hi everyone, came across this great forum from browsing for cheap tools. I just move to my new house this month, trying to diy things at home because money not enough. But looking at my nick you shall know that i am just a fisherman who know nothing about renovation work. But now knowing that this website is so helpful as well as the forumer, i will try to diy things myself. If i ask too much question and your are ignore, please forgive me also if my english is bad. Here is my question : 1. How to clear those dirty silicon and those white silicon from the sink and bathroom totally clean. 2. How to put in those new one new one with the gun like those pro, i try it three times but the outcome is very bad. The side is over flow and it stick to my finger. Is it that the pro use some kind of tools to do it? Some of the gaps are big and some are small so it is difficult for me as my finger s big. Anyone can help me on this? Thanks in advance.

For the use of the silicon holder, read the information on the packing if any. There is a '7' hook, rotate & pull it up. Once open, u hv to finish the silicon, it turn hard within a short period.
