Step 1: Clean Area
• Ensure the area is clean and dry with no soap residue on, around or behind the basin.
Step 2: Apply Silicone Sealant
• Cut the tip of the silicone sealant tube to the width of the crack between the basin and the wall.
• Insert the tube into the mastic gun and pull the trigger until the silicone begins to come out.
• Wipe away excess.
• Using a steady, even stroke, apply the silicone in a thick bead deep into the crack between the sink and wall.
Step 3: Smooth Out Sealant
• Prepare a solution of 50% washing up liquid and 50% water.
• Dip your finger into the solution and gently run your wet finger over the bead of silicone until the silicone is smooth.
• This will leave a smooth, professional finish.
