Usage

1. Ensure that surfaces are prepared as above. 2. Use masking tape to get a clean, even sealant line and to eliminate cleaning difficulties on porous surfaces. Remove tape after silicone application before the sealant skins. 3. 90ml Tube – remove the cap and pierce seal with reverse side of cap. Cut the nozzle to desired bead size and screw onto tube. Apply silicone at a slight angle in a continuous bead to the prepared joint. After use, remove the nozzle, wipe clear and replace the cap firmly. 4. Cartridge - cut the tip off the cartridge and screw on the nozzle. Cut the tip of the nozzle at an angle to achieve the desired bead size. Apply with a caulking gun in a continuous bead to the prepared joint. 5. Remove unwanted silicone immediately. 6. Smooth down after application within 3-5 min before skin formation occurs, by using a flat or rounded tool. 7. Sealant dries to touch in approximately 45 minutes and reaches full cure after approximately 24 hours.

Storage

Stored in a cool (below 25°C), dry place in its original moisture-tight container. If the material is kept beyond the recommended shelf life, it is not necessarily unusable, but a check should be performed to observe whether the product is still workable, apply able and uncured. To maximize the shelf life of the opened cartridge, we recommend that the nozzle be removed and a piece of plastic placed over the cartridge tip after which the nozzle must be screwed back on. A large screw inserted into the nozzle tip also helps to extend the life. Store in a cool environment.
