The sealant should be applied when temperatures are between 40°F (4.4°C) and 90°F (32.2°C).
Cure time varies based on bead size, temperature, and humidity. Typically, it becomes tack-free within an hour and fully cures within 24-48 hours.
It is recommended to wait until the sealant is fully cured (typically 24-48 hours) before painting for optimal adhesion and finish.
Uncured sealant can be cleaned up with soap and water. For cured sealant, removal may require scraping or sanding.
Elastomeric means the sealant has the ability to stretch and return to its original shape. This allows it to accommodate movement in building materials without breaking the seal.
Yes, it is suitable for interior and exterior use and includes HomeShield™ Antimicrobial Protection, which helps resist mold and mildew, making it ideal for humid environments.
The product meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM Spec 230 Class A & ASTM C920 Performance.
Ensure you are using a caulking gun with a thrust ratio of 6:1 or higher. Verify the inner seal of the cartridge has been properly punctured.
The surface may not be properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or old sealant. For non-porous surfaces, ensure they are properly primed if recommended for extreme conditions.
This can occur if applied too thinly or over a moving joint. Ensure adequate bead thickness and consider if the joint movement exceeds the sealant's capabilities. Allow for proper curing time before exposing to stress.
While the sealant has antimicrobial protection, extreme conditions can still promote growth. Clean the area with a mild detergent and water. For persistent issues, consider a dedicated mold cleaner, ensuring ventilation.
Setup: Requires a standard caulking gun with a recommended thrust ratio of 6:1 or higher for optimal dispensing. Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to achieve the desired bead size. Puncture the inner seal before loading the cartridge.
Compatibility: This sealant adheres well to painted and unpainted wood, plaster, glass, aluminum, masonry, tile, brick, metal, and concrete. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant before application.
Care: For best results, apply when temperatures are between 40°F (4.4°C) and 90°F (32.2°C). While the product is still wet, excess sealant can be cleaned up with soap and water. Once cured, it can be removed by scraping or sanding. Store unused product in its original container in a cool, dry place, protected from freezing.
