Preparation
All surfaces must be prepared before commencing the application. Start by removing all loose or flaking debris on the surface, including old sealant or mastic joints. Highly porous surfaces such as new plaster should be primed first. You can apply this product to a slightly damp surface.
Application
- Cut the tip of the cartridge, taking care not to damage the threaded screw.
- Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be filled.
- Screw the nozzle onto the cartridge and place it into a standard applicator sealant tool/gun.
- Point the tip of the nozzle to the area and apply a firm, consistent pressure, ensuring you fill every crack and crevice in the hole.
- Smooth down within 20 minutes of application using either a wetted spatula, wetted piece of wood or wetted finger. Take care not to saturate the surface with water, as it can interfere with the curing process.
- Any excess sealant or spillages that may occur can be easily cleaned using a sponge and warm water.
