FAQs
How long does CT1 Oak Sealant take to cure?
CT1 typically forms a skin within minutes and is tack-free within a few hours. Full cure time can vary based on bead thickness, humidity, and temperature. Info needed: [specific full cure time details from manufacturer data].
Can CT1 be used on damp or wet surfaces?
Yes, a key benefit of CT1 is its ability to perform excellently and form strong bonds even when applied to wet or damp surfaces, making it highly versatile for various conditions.
Is CT1 safe for use in food preparation areas or around drinking water?
CT1 is listed for kitchen use and is environmentally compliant, being solvent-free and odourless. However, for direct food contact or drinking water applications, always consult local regulations and manufacturer's specific certifications. Info needed: [food grade/potable water certification status].
What colors are available for CT1 Sealant & Adhesive?
This specific product is 'Oak'. CT1 is available in a wide range of colors to suit different applications, including Brown, Clear, Grey, Blue, Beige, White, and Silver.
How do I remove cured CT1 sealant?
Once cured, CT1 sealant is very difficult to remove. It typically requires mechanical removal by cutting or scraping. For best results, clean up any excess sealant immediately after application before it cures.
Can I paint over CT1 Oak Sealant?
Yes, CT1 is paintable. After the sealant has fully cured, you can paint over it with most types of paint to match your desired aesthetic without affecting its performance.
What materials should I avoid using CT1 on?
You should avoid using CT1 on PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) plastics, as adhesion to these materials is not guaranteed.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not curing properly or remaining tacky
Ensure adequate ventilation in the application area and check that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing. Verify the product's expiry date; expired sealant may not cure correctly.
Poor adhesion or bond failure
Thoroughly clean and dry all surfaces before application, ensuring they are free from dust, grease, oil, or old sealant residues. For very smooth, non-porous surfaces, a light abrasion can improve mechanical keying.
Difficult to achieve a smooth, even bead
Ensure the nozzle is cut at a 45-degree angle to the appropriate bead size for your application. Apply consistent pressure to the sealant gun and use a dedicated smoothing tool or a wet finger immediately after application to create a professional finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Application
- Prepare Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose materials. For best results, lightly abrade non-porous surfaces.
- Cut Nozzle: Carefully cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to achieve the desired bead size. A smaller opening creates a finer bead.
- Load Cartridge: Insert the CT1 cartridge into a standard sealant gun.
- Apply Sealant: Apply the sealant with steady, even pressure, maintaining a consistent bead. For bonding, apply in beads or dots rather than a full covering to allow for solvent release (though CT1 is solvent-free, this technique still aids in adhesion for some materials).
- Tooling: Smooth the bead immediately after application using a smoothing tool or a wet finger for a professional finish.
Compatibility
CT1 is highly versatile and bonds successfully to a wide range of materials, including:
- All metals (e.g., steel, aluminum)
- Glass, mirrors
- All types of wood, MDF
- Polystyrene, fiberglass
- Tiles, concrete
- Most stones (without staining)
- Most synthetic materials
Important Note: CT1 is not compatible with PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) plastics. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about material compatibility.
Product Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning Excess: Clean any excess sealant immediately after application with a suitable solvent cleaner or tool before it cures.
- Painting: Once the CT1 sealant has fully cured, it can be painted over with most types of paint to seamlessly blend with your decor.
- Storage: Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product integrity and shelf life.
