when i used to work in the kitchen game making granite kitchens, we used to use the round edge of a paddle pop stick. gives amazing sharp edges, and you can adjust the size of the bead by the agle of the stick.

you don't need to use tape you just apply the silicon with a nice even bead then the silicon has already stuck where you want it to so then mix up some detergent and water in a spray bottle and spray the silicon and bench so it is really wet then just use a paddle pope stick to wipe the excess off it will not stick to anything as the detergent and water won't let it. just make sure you do a little section at a time so you don't get to much silicon on your paddle pop stick. works like magic and make no mess do it all the time when tiling as you can't tape up the edge on slate tiles etc

Beginner
With the nozzle cut correctly and very steady hands it is possible to do bench tops without the use of tape, soapy water, or paddle pop sticks when applying to a smooth surface. As a glazier this is something i do on the daily fitting glass splash backs or commercial shopfronts. But for those not so steady on a silicon gun soapy water and a paddle pop stick or anything hard with a nice small radius on it would be my next option. Masking tape is used if you know you will be making a mess or want to use more silicon then is required. Having said that. it also depends on the fluidity of the silicon/caulk/gap filler you are using.

I've always used tape and a wet finger, it can be a pain trying to get the tape parallel to the edge sometimes however. Next time I'll have to try the paddlepop stick though.
