Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this be painted over?
Yes, once fully cured, the sealant is generally paintable with most standard exterior coatings.
Is this product suitable for underwater use?
No, this product is designed for roofing and construction sealing and is not intended for continuous underwater submersion.
What is the cure time?
Cure time depends on temperature and humidity, but it typically skins over within a few hours and achieves full cure over several days.
Can I use this on plastics?
It performs best on porous and common building materials; testing on specific plastic substrates is recommended due to varying chemical compositions.
Is it safe to use in extreme heat?
The hybrid formulation is designed for standard outdoor temperature fluctuations; however, avoid application during extreme heat waves to prevent overly rapid skinning.
Troubleshooting
Sealant is difficult to extrude from the cartridge
Check if the material is too cold. Warm the cartridge slightly to room temperature to improve flow consistency.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Ensure the surface is entirely free of moisture, oil, or dust. Re-clean with a suitable solvent if necessary and ensure the surface is dry.
The bead looks uneven or messy
Use masking tape on either side of the joint before application to achieve a crisp line, and remove the tape immediately after tooling.
