The silicone joint can be smoothed using your finger or with a commercially available joint spatula. When doing so, you must use soapy water (about 1 tablespoon of commercially available detergent per 100 ml of water) as a release agent (coat your finger or spatula with this mixture to prevent the silicone from sticking)
