Troubleshooting
Sealant doesn't adhere properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any old sealant or residue. Roughening the surface can sometimes improve adhesion. Ensure you are using the correct sealant for the material.
Sealant takes too long to cure
Ensure the temperature and humidity are within the recommended range. Poor ventilation can also affect curing time. Apply the sealant in thin, even layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove any old sealant, dirt, grease, or debris. The surface should be completely dry.
Application: Cut the nozzle to the desired opening size. Apply the sealant smoothly and evenly, using the applicator nozzle for precision. Overlap the sealant slightly onto the surfaces you are sealing.

Curing: Allow the sealant to cure completely. The curing time varies, so consult the product instructions.
Compatibility: 151 Silicone Sealant is generally compatible with most common materials found in kitchens and bathrooms. However, it's always recommended to test it on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
