Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after application, it's smoothed with a silicone spatula or a finger dipped in soapy water to create the characteristic uniform concave finish. The masking tape is removed before the silicone starts to cure, within the first 5 minutes. First, the old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old silicone, as it won't adhere and will peel off within weeks. Removal is done using a special cutter, a scraper, and, in difficult cases, a specific chemical softening product that dissolves the old silicone without damaging the tile.

This is a very specific pattern in the area. Solid interior wood doors, especially those from blocks built in the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, with high humidity and temperature, the wood absorbs moisture from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, it sticks on the top or side of the frame, and forcing it only damages the hinge. In winter, when humidity drops and dry westerly winds arrive, the wood contracts. The door closes well, but there's a visible gap between the door and the frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided by two things: either replacing it with an MDF or multi-laminate door that doesn't move, or learning to live with it and adjusting the hinges periodically. We identify the real cause (humidity, settling, worn hardware) before taking action.

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal breaks, the hardware is of higher quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating hinges and adjusting locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air entry in winter or excessive opening effort. A minimum of 24 hours for complete curing. Quality neutral silicone dries to the touch in 30 minutes, but internal curing takes 24 hours to become watertight.
