Use and Care Manual

Surface Preparation & Application:
1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of old caulk, dirt, dust, debris and grease.
2. Cut nozzle at a 45º angle to desired bead size.
3. Puncture inner foil seal
4. Load into caulk gun.
5. Fill gap with sealant, pushing sealant ahead of nozzle.
6. For professional results, smooth bead of sealant with a finishing tool.
7. At 73°F & 50% relative humidity, sealant is water resistant at 30 minutes & reaches full cure in 24
hours. Low humidity may slow cure.
8. Clean up uncured sealant with mineral spirits. Scrape or cut away cured sealant. Do not use mineral
spirits to clean skin.
9. Reseal cartridge for storage and future use.
For Best Results:
 Not paintable. Paint substrate surface before applying sealant.
 Apply in temperatures above 40ºF.
 Joint width should not exceed ½”. If joint depth exceeds ½”, use foam backer rod.
 Allow 24 hours for sealant to fully cure. Sealant will not cure in totally confined spaces.
 Store below 90°F in dry place for optimal shelf life.
 Not recommended for filling butt joints, surface defects, tuck pointing, stovepipes, chimneys, fireplaces
applications, continuous underwater use or oily woods and some metals. Not recommended for structural
glazing.
 Not recommended on surfaces that might bleed oils, plasticizers or solvents. Best adhesion and
compatibility are not achieved with substrates made of methylmethacrylate, polycarbonate,
polypropylene, polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene. Evaluate such substrates before using sealant.
