    Calley, are you familiar with Fugi-style tools?
    Even the cheap substitutes work, and superbly so.
    And if one of the surfaces is tiled with obvious grout lines, then get a set with the wee thingy that'll glide over them and not bump.
    If you hadn't considered using these tools, you will want to kiss me.
    No idea what they are will have to go and look those up

    You need to decide whether to use low or high modulus sealant, and whether neutral or acetoxy cure.  I have used low modulus neutral cure for the jobs you describe, but suggest you seek other views as I am no expert!
    Thats well over my head.  I just want to re seal kitchen work tops and a shower tray!!!
    This is the stuff I would use.  Comes in clear, white etc

    Dumb question that is ok to use on kitchen work tops as well?

    Good question - it has fungicide, so probably best not to.
    This shows the Fugi in real life use - it also shows the tile grout add-on piece (blue) at 3:48.
