generally they say use the sharp flat edge in the direction of travel, the bevelled edge behind.

Why do you hold the tool the opposite way to what the instructions say ?

Product being used on the wrong side. DO NOT spray water, you will prevent the silicone from adhering to the sides. Good luck.

It doesn’t matter how you hold the tool it us a gimmick that gives inferior results. Yheprimary function of tooling the joint is for adhesion and us mandatory. Aesthetics are secondary. All this tool dies is scrape the excess off. If you use it your sealant is guaranteed to fail prematurely. I have been a professional caulker fit over 45 years and I’m tired of all of the misinformation given to the homeowner. Using this the typical life of silicone ud 5-7 years. Less if you’re stupid enough enough to use soapy water or worse window cleaner. Properly installed silicone will last at least 20 years probably 30 or,ore.

May be quicker, but when caulking tiles, with the tiles having a straight edge they become like a razor blade, many a time I have used my finger and have cut it quite deep. It’s a a shame this tool wasn’t invented earlier. I have just bought one after watching numerous videos regarding how to seal professionally.

Nope, you do not! It’s a common mistake that so many people propagate - when applying silicone caulking no liquid should be used, as it gets behind the silicone and causes it to fail prematurely. Don’t give wrong advice if you have no idea about what you are talking about
