FAQs

What is the primary use of Seal It Cracks & Edges Waterproofer?

It is used to fill and seal cracks, edges, and details in substrates, creating a sound base to prepare for the application of SEAL IT LIQUID MEMBRANE.

How long should I wait between applying the sealant and the liquid membrane?

The sealant needs to skin over, which typically takes about 8 hours. However, the total time between applying the sealant and the liquid membrane should not exceed 5 days.

Do I need a primer for all surfaces?

A primer (SEAL IT PRIMER) is essential for bitumen surfaces and roof felts. For other clean, dry substrates, it may not be required, but always check product compatibility.

What is the 'high modulus' property?

High modulus means the sealant is stiff and strong once cured, offering excellent resistance to movement and stress, making it ideal for structural repairs.

Can this product be used on its own for waterproofing?

While it provides a seal, its primary function is as a preparatory filler and sealer for subsequent waterproofing membranes. It is not intended as a standalone waterproofing solution for extensive areas.

What are the storage recommendations for this product?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures, frost, and direct sunlight. Ensure containers are sealed when not in use.

Is this product suitable for interior use?

The product is described for exterior roof repairs and preparing for liquid membranes. While it has a neutral cure, always ensure adequate ventilation if used in an interior space where such repairs are applicable.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not adhering properly

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. For bitumen or felt surfaces, confirm that SEAL IT PRIMER was applied correctly and allowed to dry as per instructions.

Poor performance after liquid membrane application

Verify that the time gap between sealant application and liquid membrane application did not exceed 5 days and that the sealant had skinned over sufficiently (approx. 8 hours) before the membrane was applied.

Sealant remains wet or tacky after extended period

Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity range. In very humid or cold conditions, curing may be delayed. Avoid applying over wet or damp surfaces.

Difficulty applying sealant smoothly

Use appropriate tools such as a caulk gun. If the product is too stiff, ensure it is at the recommended application temperature. For very cold conditions, slightly warming the cartridge may help (do not overheat).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion and durability.
  • Versatile for various repair scenarios.
  • Neutral cure formula for minimal odor.
  • Prepares surfaces effectively for liquid membranes.
  • User-friendly application and relatively fast skinning time.

Cons

  • Requires specific primers for certain surfaces (e.g., bitumen).
  • Strict application timing is necessary between sealant and liquid membrane.
  • Potential for product failure if primer requirements are not met.
  • Requires a clean, dry substrate for optimal performance.
  • Not suitable for continuous submersion applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For bitumen surfaces and roof felts, a thorough application of SEAL IT PRIMER is mandatory before using the sealant.

Compatibility: This sealant is based on advanced hybrid polymer technology and is suitable for use prior to the application of SEAL IT LIQUID MEMBRANE. It bonds to a wide range of construction materials.

Care: Store containers in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure empty containers are disposed of according to local environmental regulations, keeping them away from children and animals.

Application Note: It is imperative that the sealant and SEAL IT LIQUID MEMBRANE are not applied over 5 days apart. The sealant must have skinned over sufficiently (approx. 8 hours) before the liquid membrane is applied.
