How to use
- All surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from grease. Surfaces can be cleaned using methylated spirits,
applied to a tissue or cloth, before applying the sealant.
- Remove cap and pierce tube diaphragm (25g size) / Remove nozzle, cut off end of plastic cartridge and screw on nozzle
(78g size).
- Cut tip of nozzle to required width of seal. The nozzle opening must always be wider than the joint to be sealed, allowing
sealant to make contact with both surfaces.
- Press tip of nozzle against the sides of the joint and hold the tube/cartridge at a 45 degree angle.
- Push the tube/cartridge while applying a steady, even pressure at the base. Ensure that a bead of sealant is ahead of
the nozzle as it moves forward.
- Smooth any inconsistencies to the finished bead with a wet instrument such as a spoon or spatula. Smooth surfaces lightly
ensuring sealant makes contact with both surfaces whilst still un-cured.
- Any excess of misapplied sealant should be removed whilst still un-cured using a tissue or cloth soaked in methylated
spirits.
- After completing the application, ensure that the sealant is kept dry and undisturbed for at least 48 hours.
