When renovating our kitchen the water tap was installed before the tiles were mounted. So I had to make the finishing Silicone joint trying to reach behind the water tap. Which was difficult and the result was a pretty uneven joint that collected a lot of deposits with time. So I removed the existing joint and made an elongated tool that enabled me to scrape off the sealant in a controlled manner also behind the water tap. The tool also worked very fine to scrape off the other joints that were not behind a tight space.
The tool has stiffeners along its length to give it rigidity. It also has some transversal stiffeners in its end to give it better grip. And also in its front part to enable the user to put extra pressure on the tool with a finger when needed.
I have uploaded 3 models with different joint radius, 5 mm, 7,5 mm and 10 mm. For the joint in the pictures I used the 5 mm radius tool.
I really recommend using masking tape also to avoid messy residuals of silicone outside the joint.
I printed the caulking tool in Prusament ASA Natural with a 0,6 mm nozzle, placed with its "back" on the Printbed of my Flashforge Adventurer 4.
