FAQs
What colour is the Unibond Stop Mould Silicone Sealant?
This product has a translucent white finish.
Can I use this sealant for my bathtub?
Yes, it is suitable for sealing around bathtubs, showers, sinks, and other areas in bathrooms and kitchens, especially where mould prevention is important.
How long does it take to dry?
The sealant typically skins over within minutes and fully cures in approximately 24 hours. It should not be exposed to water until fully cured.
Do I need a special tool to apply it?
A standard sealant gun is required for application. This is usually sold separately.
Will this sealant stop existing mould?
This sealant is designed to prevent the growth of new mould and repel existing mould. For heavily contaminated areas, it's best to clean thoroughly before applying the sealant.
Can I paint over this sealant?
No, silicone sealants are generally not paintable. It is best to choose a sealant colour that matches your decor or to use a paintable filler if painting is required.
Is it safe for power showers?
Yes, the product is specifically stated as being suitable for power showers and wet rooms due to its waterproof and durable nature.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not adhering properly
Ensure surfaces were thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust or grease before application. Old sealant must be completely removed.
Uneven or messy application
Practice on a scrap surface. Use a wet finger or smoothing tool immediately after application to achieve a neat finish. Remove excess before it skins over.
Sealant not curing
Ensure adequate ventilation. Curing requires air humidity. If the environment is extremely dry, curing may take longer than the stated 24 hours.
Mould reappears quickly
Verify that the product used was indeed the 'Stop Mould' variant. Ensure the initial application area was properly cleaned and dried, and that the sealant has fully cured before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant.
- Cut the nozzle tip at an angle to achieve the desired bead size.
- Apply a continuous bead of sealant using a sealant gun.
