Preparation
You must prepare the surface to achieve optimal results. Clean the surface area thoroughly, removing contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, oil, etc. Certain surfaces that are highly porous should receive a primer to it first; this is to aid the adhesion.
Applications
- Cut the top of the cartridge, ensuring not to damage the threaded screw.
- Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle with an opening slightly larger than the gap you are going to fill.
- Using a standard sealant applicator/gun, place the cartridge into the tool.
- Using a firm, consistent pressure, apply the tip to the surface and extrude the sealant to the surface.
- Once applied, you should smooth it down within 20 minutes; you should use an applicator tool or a wooden spoon/spatula with a soapy solution on it.
