Use and Care Manual

2
Suggested Uses:
Ideal for Caulking and Sealing:
 Windows and doors  Pipes  Siding and trim
 Molding  Butt joints  Tuck-pointing
 Baseboards
 Vents
 Corner joints  Other gaps and cracks
Outstanding Adhesion to:
 Wood  Metal  Brick
 Aluminum  Glass  Concrete
 Vinyl  Masonry  Most plastics
 Plaster and drywall  Stucco  Stone
 Painted surfaces  Composite  PVC Trimboard
Performance Characteristics:
 Exceeds the requirements of ASTM C920 standard specification for Elastomeric joint sealants, Type S,
Grade NS, Class 25. Use NT, G, A and M.
 Meets the performance specifications of Federal Spec TT-S-00230c (COMNBS0), Type II, Class A
 Exceeds ASTM Spec C834 Standard Specification for Latex Sealants
Surface Preparation & Application:
1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of all old caulk, dirt, dust and grease.
2. Remove cap (from tube). Cut nozzle at a 45° angle to desired bead size.
3. Load into caulk gun if using the cartridge.
4. Fill gap with sealant, pushing sealant ahead of nozzle.
5. For professional results, smooth bead of sealant with a finishing tool.
6. Clean up excess uncured sealant with a damp cloth before it skins over (15 minutes). Cured sealant must be
cut or scraped away.
7. Allow sealant to dry 2-4 hours before painting with latex or oil-based paints. Cool or humid conditions or
type of paint used may require longer dry time.
8. Reseal tube/cartridge for storage and reuse.
For Best Results:
 Apply in temperatures above 40°F.
 Do not apply if rain or freezing temperatures are forecasted before full cure can occur. Cold weather and
high humidity will slow down cure time.
 Do not use below waterline or for marine or automobile applications, or filling surface defects.
 Joint size should not exceed 1” wide by 1/2” deep. If joint depth exceeds 1/2”, use foam backer rod.
 Store sealant away from extreme heat or cold.
