CD - you're giving me nightmares of putting up a kitchen backslash... ugh... haha. I used the spoon to trowel the 795 around on the mating surfaces and probably the first pass across the joint, but may have finished the way you point out. I can't recall now. Years ago a builder said he used a finger dipped in bowl of dish soap on exterior house caulk when smoothing wider beads. Works well, but did not want to try it on 795 for fear of inhibiting the surface cure (see below).
As a note of caution, real or not, the yard used either denatured alcohol, acetone, or some other solvent to smooth the sikaflex 295uv joint when first rebedding my dead lights. Supposedly, use of the wrong solvent is what stopped the surface cure of the sika according to the sika rep. It never set up outside, but set up fine inside where it was not wiped with solvent. After two more tries by the yard with the same result (the 3rd time w/o primer), I did it myself with the 795.
