After spending time, effort and money renovating our bathroom or kitchen, we made a mistake with the silicone. Both when choosing it and when applying it and even when cleaning and maintaining it. In this tutorial, for which we have had the support of the Technical Department of Wolf Group Ibérico, we are going to tell you about the four mistakes we usually make when applying silicone in bathrooms and kitchens and what you can do to avoid them. First mistake. We need to renew the silicone and, when we remove the old one, we use the tools incorrectly and scratch the materials. We show you how to do it well with these tools or with the Penosil scraper (Wolf Group Ibérico) which is made of plastic and has the perfect design to remove the old bead effortlessly. Another very important thing. Before applying the silicone we need to clean the surface and we must leave it perfectly clean of detergent and dry. Otherwise, the new silicone we apply will lose adherence. Second mistake. We make it many times when choosing silicone. Penosil makes it very easy for you because it has a “Kitchens and bathrooms” silicone that indicates on the can that it does not stain and specifies on which materials you can apply it. There is also the “No mold” silicone that prevents mold from forming but can attack the most sensitive materials. If you are sure that it will not stain the surface and you are looking for absolute whiteness, choose acetic silicone, the “No mold” silicone. Third mistake. There are many ways to apply silicone: a finger moistened with soap, a potato, the base of the tube, etc. We are going to show you how easy it is to make a perfectly beveled bead that is adhered on both sides so that water does not penetrate with the Penosil spatula. A great invention and a great design that is incorporated in its cartridges. And, in addition, we are also going to show you the most professional option for using the spatula, perforating it so that it comes out directly while you apply the bead. This last option is not easy, you have to train until you acquire the necessary mastery ???? And the fourth mistake. Although it seems obvious, if you want your silicone bead not to extinguish and to work for a long time protecting you from humidity, always clean it with neutral products. Bleach, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, etc. and abrasive scouring pads will quickly destroy your cords and possibly the surface of the materials you have installed in your kitchen or bathroom. And, if after watching this tutorial you still want to renew the silicone in your bathroom or kitchen, take part in the GIVEAWAY for 5 Penosil kits (Wolf Group Ibérico) that include: the silicone cartridge, a scraper to remove the old silicone and a spatula to apply it.
