Product Information
Full details
The Splashwall Brown Living Area Sealant is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to seal joints and gaps in living spaces. Its primary benefit is providing a professional, long-lasting finish that blends seamlessly with darker decor. A potential caveat is its specific brown colour, which may not suit all aesthetic requirements. This silicone-based sealant offers excellent adhesion to various materials like wood, metal, and glass, and its mould-resistant properties contribute to a clean appearance over time.

FAQs
Is this sealant suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
This product is specifically designed for living areas. For high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms, it is recommended to use a sealant with enhanced anti-fungal properties specifically formulated for those environments.
What is the drying time for the sealant?
The sealant will skin over within approximately 15-20 minutes and can be handled after about 1 hour. Full cure can take up to 24 hours, depending on bead size and environmental conditions.
Can I paint over this sealant?
No, this silicone-based sealant is not designed to be painted over. It is best used where its natural brown colour provides the desired finish.
How do I remove excess or uncured sealant?
Excess uncured sealant can typically be wiped away with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent may be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the shelf life of the sealant cartridge?
Unopened cartridges typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Does it require a special type of sealant gun?
It requires a standard cartridge-sized sealant gun, commonly available at hardware and DIY stores.
Troubleshooting
Sealant is not dispensing
Ensure the cartridge's inner seal is punctured and that the sealant gun trigger is being fully depressed.
Uneven bead application
Adjust the angle and speed of application. Ensure the nozzle tip is cut to an appropriate size for the gap.
Sealant pulling away or not adhering
Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old sealant. Reapply if necessary after preparing the surface.
Appearance of mould after some time
While mould-resistant, the sealant is not entirely immune. Ensure adequate ventilation in the area. For existing mould, clean gently with a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly.
