Can I use this sealant on plastic?

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.

Sealant cracks or peels

This may indicate movement in the sealed area. Ensure the sealant is appropriate for the application and the surfaces are clean. Consider using a flexible sealant if movement is expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove any old sealant, dirt, grease, or debris. The surface should be completely dry.
  2. 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.
