Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be clean, dry, and dust-free

Remove all loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints before application

Clean glass, metal, and aluminium with a proprietary solvent cleaner for optimum adhesion

Porous surfaces may require priming; test a small area first

Application

Refer to the recommended joint ratios

If necessary, reduce joint depth using FILL AND FIX EXPANDING FOAM or joint backer rod

Ensure the joint design permits adhesion to two surfaces only; three-sided adhesion will impair flexibility

Cut the tip of the cartridge carefully to avoid damaging the thread

Apply the nozzle and cut cleanly at a 45-degree angle with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be sealed

Use a standard sealant gun for application

Maintain even pressure on the gun trigger and keep the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed

Smooth down within 10 minutes of application using a spatula or a piece of wood wetted with a soap and water solution

For improved appearance, place masking tape on both sides of the joint and remove within 5 minutes of application
