FAQs

Do I need to remove the old sealant completely?

No, the UniBond Re-New kit is designed to be applied directly over existing, sound sealant, saving you time and effort.

What is the volume of the sealant in the kit?

The kit contains 80ml of white silicone sealant.

Can I use this on UPVC window frames?

This product is specifically formulated for use in kitchens and bathrooms around sanitary fittings like sinks, tubs, and showers. For UPVC, it's best to check product suitability or consult a professional.

How do I get a professional-looking finish?

Use the included smoothing tool with consistent pressure immediately after applying the sealant. Ensure the tool and the surrounding area are clean.

What is the purpose of the remover tool?

The remover tool helps to clean the old sealant line and prepare the surface for the new sealant application, ensuring better adhesion.

Is this sealant paintable?

This silicone sealant is not designed to be painted over.

How long does the sealant take to dry?

The sealant typically skins over in about 20-30 minutes and can be handled after a few hours, but full cure may take up to 24 hours depending on conditions.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not adhering to the old sealant

Ensure the old sealant is clean, dry, and free from soap scum or mould. Use the remover tool thoroughly to prepare the surface.

Uneven or messy sealant bead

Practice applying on a piece of cardboard first. Ensure the smoothing tool is clean and used with consistent pressure. Wipe excess immediately with a damp cloth.

Sealant appears lumpy or contains air bubbles

Ensure the tube nozzle is not blocked and apply steady pressure. Avoid overworking the sealant after application.

Mould reappears quickly

Ensure the area is well-ventilated and that the original mould issue was thoroughly removed before applying the new sealant. The mould-resistant formula helps prevent new growth.
