How to Use:

Safety Precautions: Ensure good ventilation at the work station. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product. Always wash hands after handling.
Surface Preparation: Ensure substrates are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, rust, and other contaminants. Not suitable for swimming pool joints. Non-porous surfaces like aluminum and glass should be cleaned with a suitable solvent and dried thoroughly. Porous substrates such as concrete and brickwork must be mechanically cleaned using compressed air, sandpaper, or a hard brush. Mask off joint edges with self-adhesive tape to protect from contamination.
Application: Cut the nozzle to obtain the desired bead size. Apply the sealant as evenly as possible using a professional caulking gun. Use a polyethylene bond breaker tape or backer rod to adjust the joint depth to the proper width/depth ratio and avoid three-side adhesion, which restricts the movement capability of the sealant. Do not expose to water before fully cured.
Finishing: Tool the joint surface with a smoothing tool to ensure full contact with the sides and backup material into the joint before skin formation. Remove masking tapes immediately after smoothing over the surface of the sealant.
Cleaning: Uncured product can be removed with a damp sponge. Cured product must be removed mechanically.
