Troubleshooting
Sealant isn't adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Use a primer if needed for certain surfaces.
Sealant is cracking after application.
Ensure movement in joints doesn't exceed 25%. Ensure adequate curing time before exposing to extreme temperatures.
Mould is growing on the sealant.
Clean the area with a mould remover and ensure proper ventilation to prevent future growth.
