Before You Start: Good Tips to Know
Compatibility is important!
Any product already on the wood that contains waxes,
non-drying oils, or silicones can interfere with the adhesion
of Conceal, or most any caulk, and must rst be removed.
Conceal is compatible with all Sashco wood stains. If unsure
about Conceal’s compatibility with another product, please
call Sashco before applying Conceal

.
Application Steps
Surface Preparation:
Best results are obtained when Conceal is applied to wood
surfaces that:
• Are clean — free of mold/mildew, pollen, dust, oils, dirt,
loose wood bers and any old caulking residue
• Are dry — applying Conceal to damp wood may affect adhesion
• Have a surface temperature between 40°F and 90°F
(
4°-32°C
)
.
Joint Design: To ensure
best elasticity and use less
caulk, insert backer rod
into joints deeper than
½"
(
refer to the diagram
for details
)
.
Applying Conceal:
• Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle
to desired bead size.
• Gun out a smooth bead.
• Tool with a damp foam brush
or your nger to ensure a tight
seal to both sides of the joint.
• Clean excess product off surfaces
(
before it cures
)
with a putty knife
and/or a damp rag.
Clean Up & Storage
• Clean hands with warm water
and soap.
• Tightly wrap nozzles of open
cartridges with plastic wrap
and a rubber band. Store in
moderate temperatures.
• Dispose of Conceal in accordance
with local regulations. Do not dispose
of in drinking water supplies.

Textured Caulk
You love the look of wood, not caulking. Conceal is
lightly textured to simulate the natural roughness of
wood and comes in 7 colors designed to complement the
most popular stain colors. The caulking disappears into the
woodwork, and your home is sealed from the elements. With
Conceal, you don’t have to see it to know it’s there.
Why Use Conceal?
• Lightly textured to blend in with wood
• Superior elasticity, memory and adhesion
• Won’t crack, tear or pull away
• Cleans up with soap and water
• Interior/exterior use
• Resistant to rainfall in 1-4 hours*
• Easy to tool
• Compatible with all Sashco stains
• Colors made to complement Transformation Stain

* In severe conditions
(
under 45°F and/or 70%+ humidity
)
, full rain resistance may
take longer. Cover caulk with plastic sheeting if rainfall is expected within 24 hours
after installation.

Sashco’s unique Alyster plunger.
A flexible telescopic diaphragm not only stops material
flow, it actually pulls material back into the nozzle!
• Tight Seal — Increases shelf life and minimizes leakage.
• Stop Flow — The flexible telescopic diaphragm assures
that material flow will stop when caulk gun pressure
is released.
