if it's still wet i'd just use masking tape to define the edges you want and then add more 1 "finger full" at a time. smoosh it in real good. then peel off the tape.

there will be a teeeny tiny ridge equal to the thickness of the tape which some people might find objectionable, but i find the very clean lines provided by the tape more than counteract that.

people who are really really skilled can get perfect lines freehand. not me.

Thanks for your reply. I used masking tape, I just obviously didn’t apply quite enough silicone. Unfortunately it was only once it had started to cure already that the issue became obvious. I think it kinda fell into the gap just a little, due to gravity perhaps, or shrinkage.

well i think the only "propper" way to do it is rip it out and start again... fun :)

i made the mistake of not using a quality silicone when i did it so i have to do it again soon too. heh. things get easier the second and third time round so i guess that's a small silver lining
