Troubleshooting

Cream is not injecting smoothly.

Check the sealant gun and ensure it is working correctly. The cartridge may be blocked; try clearing the nozzle.

Dampness returns after treatment.

Ensure the application was done correctly. Check for other sources of dampness (e.g., penetrating damp). Consider reapplication following the manufacturer's instructions.
