d. Tool the sealant around the perimeter of the glazing, packing the sealant into the joint, to ensure any voids or air bubbles in the sealant are
eliminated. Carefully relocate the glazing retainers to expose inaccessible areas behind the retainer, and tool the sealant at those areas. Pay
particular attention at the corners of the glazing.
e. Do not apply the weather seal around the perimeter of the glazing until the structural silicone joint cures. The SSG joint will typically take 7-14 days,
but it can take up to 28 days to fully cure depending on temperature and humidity. Consultation with the sealant manufacturer is recommended.
