Finally got my bathroom reno right for everyone to use comfortably

Haha, true, some of those silicone tools are basically kitchen utensils in disguise. I actually ended up using an old credit card once - worked surprisingly well, especially in tight corners. DIY hacks for the win, right?

Totally agree, credit cards are underrated for DIY caulking. I've also found old gift cards handy - they're a bit sturdier and don't flex as much, giving you a cleaner line. Another tip: if you're dealing with silicone residue afterward, a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cloth works wonders. Learned that the hard way after spending hours scrubbing stubborn spots... wish I'd known sooner, haha.

Good call on the rubbing alcohol - definitely beats scrubbing until your fingers go numb, haha. Just a quick heads-up though: if you're using alcohol, make sure the room's well-ventilated. Learned that lesson after getting a bit dizzy from fumes once... not fun. Also, gloves are your friend here; silicone and alcohol can dry out your skin pretty badly. Better safe than sorry, right?

Good tip on ventilation - learned that the hard way myself. Also agree about gloves; skipped them once thinking it'd be quick... ended up with dry, cracked hands for days. Lesson learned, haha.

Ventilation's definitely key - I once painted my bathroom cabinets without opening the window enough and ended up with a killer headache. Gloves too... thought I'd save a few bucks skipping them, but lotion costs added up later, lol.
