Preparation

Prepare all surfaces before starting the application, and you can achieve this by removing all dust, dirt, flaking material, old sealant and mastic, as they will hinder the adhesion.

If the area you intend to fill has a large gap, it is advised to use a backing rod to prevent wasting too much sealant.

This product does have excellent adhesive properties when binding to non-porous surfaces. However, some surfaces may need a primer applied first.

Application

2. Screw the nozzle onto the top of the cartridge, and cut it at a 45° angle with an opening slightly larger than the area to be filled.
3. Apply using a standard sealant gun, and maintain an even pressure to provide an even bead for the strongest bond.
