when tiling down to a bath or worktop,a gap of 2 or 3 mm should be left.This should not be grouted ,but left to allow the silicone to penetrate.
After the silicon has been applied to the DRY area,a solution of washing up liquid and water can be sprayed over the silicon.The seal can then be tooled off to a neat finish.I use one of those sprays that are made for spraying plants etc.The silicon will only stick to the dry area and not the sprayed area

That's pretty much the technique used, other than I didn't spray the sealant down, just lightly used my finger doused in a washing up liquid & water solution to get a neat finish. Must just be the carp sealant I used.

Cheers for the offer; I'll let you know if I can't source any at one of the local merchants over the weekend.
