Preparation
You should prepare the surface before commencing the application; otherwise, you'll not receive the optimal application this product can achieve. Remove any contaminants that can hinder this product's adhesion, including dust, dirt, grease and similar impurities.
Non-porous surfaces should be prepared with an activator or cleaner. Porous surfaces that are in water-loaded applications should be primed before application.
Application
- Cut the top cartridge, ensuring you do not damage the threaded screw.
- Screw the nozzle onto the cartridge, and cut it at a 45° angle with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be filled.
- Using a standard sealant gun, apply a firm, consistent pressure to the gun handle, allowing you to extrude an even consistent bead for optimal adhesion.
- After applying the sealant, tool down either using an applicator tool, slightly wetted spatula or wooden spoon.
