40407 Grouting & Silicone Profiling Kit 7- Professional Tool Kit with Sealant Finishing Tools and Caulk Removal Tools

I tested this kit out on a small bathroom caulk run this morning & it delivered great results. It's not 100% foolproof but it's easier than a finger even for normal baseboard caulk. For the average unskilled user you'll be able to run your line much faster. This gives you more time to fix any mistakes & produces a good looking result. The small gradations allow you to mix two bead sizes in case your caulk gap has inconsistent sizes on the line (ex: trim that's not flush against the wall.) You still need to cleanly apply the right caulk amount with your gun. Too much & you'll need to frequently wipe off excess caulk, but too little & the line won't have enough material to look consistent.

I was very skeptical of this initially, but I saw a number of YouTubers recommend this. I have to say, it is great! The tools wipe away the caulk when you use it, so clean up is super easy. It’s amazing to use with silicone caulk. It makes life so much easier and the job so much quicker. I like the different profiles it has. I wish it another round profile in between the small and large one it has, but that’s the only thing I’d change. If you’re on the fence like I was, pick this up. It’s worth it.

Good device. Not as easy to use with the slider inserts as it looks / there is definitely a learning curve. But with a bit of pressure and the right approach, it worked really well. Waaaay better than other systems I’ve tried. Nice that there are so many different tips / sizes of openings. Didn’t use the cutter/blade. Used the pointed "cleaning" tips a lot. Quite a bit of caulking/sealant scraped off, but I applied thick beads of caulk. By far the best caulking job I’ve ever done, both with clear and colored caulk!

These were great for applying caulk the first time I used them, and I highly recommend them for that experience. The sink looked great. However, they are challenging to clean properly, and the second time I tried to use them they had a frustrating tendency to stick and pull the caulk if the tool wasn't spotlessly cleaned from the previous use, which as noted was challenging to impossible. Overall, good tools with a caveat.

Great tool for caulking

I believe in doing small home improvement projects myself so I've done a fair amount of caulking. I learned how to do it the old-fashioned way, free-hand, carefully laying down a line of caulk of my desired width and using a wet finger to smooth it into shape. For someone who doesn't do it often enough to get the thickness of the line right the first time every time, it's messy and very time consuming. Before re-caulking my shower I watched a video where the guy recommended this profiling kit and I LOVE these tools! Choose the shape of the caulk line you want, run the profiling tool over a line of fresh caulk and voila, the extra is removed leaving a perfect line of caulk. Yes, it takes a little practice to get exactly the result you want, but that's true of any tool. The profilers themselves are high quality silicone, thick enough to thoroughly scrape off the extra caulk but thin enough to flex if the corner you're filling is made by two walls that aren't perfectly flat and at a perfect 90 degree angle. And you can choose to leave almost no caulk in the joint, or a narrow, medium or wide line, or even inwardly or outwardly curved lines. There are even tools to help with making neat corners, and a caulk remover/scraper. And being an engineer at heart, I love the fact that they clean up easily (just wash or rub the caulk off the silicone profilers) and they all fit neatly back into their case until the next time you need to use them.

These works well. I have a situation where, due to a design flaw, any seeping of water between the tile and the tub would result in a complete disaster involving water damage. The contractors I've hired all like to use really thin applications of caulk usually applied "concave" with their finger. While this approach may be aesthetically pleasing, it also creates a serious risk of leaking due to an inadequate seal. My caulking job, by comparison, was a perhaps a little sloppy, but it used a sufficiently wide application such that I at least know it is a lot more likely to prevent water damage to the ceiling below my tub than the previous caulking.

Buy this one! It is well worth the extra dollars. The edges of the squeegees are so much better than the copies. You might think that the cheaper copies must be just as good. But when you look at the very edges of the squeegees, you will see the difference. These have a clean crisp edge that the others do not, and they do not wear down quickly at all. It is this crisp edge that makes the job go easily and looks like a pro did it. I've always hated caulking and never could do a very good job at all. The best video's on the subject I have found are by CharlieDIYte.

Tres bon kit, c'est pas donné mais c'est le compromis parfait entre souplesse et rigidité. Le système pour éviter de reproduire le creux des joint est très ingénieux!

Kann ich nur empfehlen. Damit geht es tatsächlich ohne andere Mittel

Io non sono un professionista, e finora l'ho usato soltanto su superfici duri come ceramico e vetro Tutte le cose dentro l'astuccio duro fanno i suoi lavoro in modo perfetto. Tutti gli attrezzi sono facile di pulire, così loro rimangano in condizione ottimo per la prossima opera. Anche il coltello per rimuovere silicone vecchio funzione in un modo speciale, può raggiungere posti che un taglierino non riuserà. Un peccato è non sono riuscito trovare i suoi lame ricambi disponibile in nessun posto, neanche qui su Amazon oppure il sito del produttore. In somma sono molto soddisfatto con questo prodotto tedesco.

I hate using caulk and have always got it all over the place. This set has made any caulking job easier and I have bought a set for both of my sons. Stop using your finger and buy this and buy this; it will result in a more professional finish.

Great product
