Product Details
Cut nozzle at a sharp angle slightly
Cut nozzle at a sharp angle slightly wider than the desired bead. Extrude sealant with a gun and tool with a round spatula within 10 minutes to spread the sealant.
Surface Preparation
Ensure that the surface to be sealed is clean, dry, sound and grease free. Metals should be cleaned with a non-oily solvent soaked clean cloth. Solvent should be wiped from the surface with a clean dry cloth. Use an alcohol such as methylated spirits on glass. When used on remedial work all existing sealant must be removed. Porous substrates such as concrete, brickwork, mortar etc. must be mechanically cleaned of loose particles using a steel brush, sanding disc or any similar means.
