Ya you bet, when you smooth it over you want to get a little coverage onto the masking tape aswell so your edges look top notch. I will try and find you a couple pics of what we're talking about. You should be able to find gloves at canadian tire, rona, all the places for a half good price. If all else fails, "borrow" a pair from the first aid kit at work haha

re
Haha, yeah, I work at a mechanic shop and we use the blue nitrile gloves. I have 3 full boxes sitting on my tool box, so I'll just snag a hand full of them
And thanks, pics would help; but I think I understand what you mean with the tape. All I need now is to find a local supply of some of the reef safe silicone.

Use GE Silicone Type I (GE 1200 is better if you can find it - good luck)
Do one corner at a time. Clean area thoughly (use razor blade) Masking tape 1/2 max from corner Run a continuous, uniform bead of silicone up corner Smooth with back of plastic spoon Remove tape immediately

Hi, I know this is a old post, but just for if anyone in Chilliwack is wondering, They have the GE Silicone Type I at walmart in two packs for about $8 and Rona always has it for around $5 a tube. You want to make sure its the blue and white tube. DO NOT Get the red and white tube. Iv used this on my sump and overflow and it worked great. Also make sure to look at the color because it comes in clear white and black though the black isnt often in stock
