What is the shelf life of the sealant?

Troubleshooting

Sealant isn't sticking to the surface.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of old sealant. Apply a thin, even bead and smooth immediately.

Sealant is cracking after application.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before application and the sealant is fully cured. Excessive movement can also cause cracking.

Mould is growing on the sealant.

Clean the area with a mould remover. Ensure proper ventilation and consider using a sealant with a stronger anti-mould formulation for future applications.
