Installation Instructions

Tools Typically Required:
Utility knife and caulking gun. For best application results, OSI recommends the use of a high quality caulking gun such as the
Albion® B12 Cartridge Gun.
Safety Precautions:
Do not use inside occupied structures. Wear gloves and wash hands after use.
Preparation:
Apply sealant between 0°F (-18°C) and 120°F (49°C). For easier extrusion of sealant at lower temperatures, the material should be
kept at room temperature 24 hours prior to use. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of old caulk, grease, dust, ice, snow,
surface water and other contaminants. Insert cartridge into caulking gun, apply moderate pressure in order to break the Break- A-
Way Seal™ inside the nozzle. Cut the tip off the cartridge at a 45° angle to desired bead size (3/8” is recommended).
Application:
Using a caulking gun, apply sealant with steady pressure, forcing the sealant into the joint. If the depth of the joint exceeds 3/8” (9.5
mm) the use of a backer rod is recommended. OSI QUAD will not pop or splatter and will dispense smoothly on extrusion from the
cartridge. Tooling of the sealant is not necessary or recommended. Do not feather or smear sealant. Sealant is paintable when fully
cured. Full cure may take 7 - 14 days or longer depending on ambient conditions and volume of sealant used. Latex paint is
recommended. If using oil based/alkyd paint, a latex primer should be used first.
Clean-up:
Clean tools and uncured sealant residue immediately with mineral spirits or paint thinner. Cured sealant must be carefully cut away
with a sharp-edged tool.
