Preparation
Before applying this product, you should remove contaminants on the surface which can interfere with the adhesion. If the surface is porous, it's recommended to prime it first to enable optimal adhesion.
Applications
- Cut the top of the cartridge, ensuring you do not damage the threaded screw.
- Screw the nozzle onto the cartridge and cut it at a 45° angle
- Using a standard sealant gun, apply this product directly to the surface
- Tool down afterwards, using a soapy solution; however, ensure you do not allow the soapy solution to touch either surface as it can hinder the adhesion; only apply it directly to the sealant.
