How to use?
- The first thing to do before using a sealant is to thoroughly clean the surface.It is necessary to take into account how compatible the basis and composition are, the correct selection of material will directly affect the result of the work performed.
- The base is cleaned according to its type. Stone and concrete are cleaned with a special brush that removes not only dust, but also paint residues and other dirt. Metallic substrates and plastics should be treated with a solvent. If there is mold and fungus on the substrate, the surface must first be sanitized. It should be borne in mind that for this type of work it is impossible to use soap, since it is not combined with sealing means.
- The seam can have a width of 10 to 20 millimeters and a depth of no more than 12 millimeters. In more serious cases, a sealing cord should be used.
- After the base has dried, you can glue it with masking tape to help avoid contamination. Surfaces of unknown origin should be tested for compatibility with an inconspicuous area before using sealants.
- Installing the tube in the gun is carried out according to the instructions. After this procedure, you can apply sealant.It is recommended to perform the action under pressure to make the seam more durable.
- After that, the material is smoothed, and the masking tape is removed. The material dries and becomes covered with a film rather quickly, after which it hardens, depending on the layer thickness and external conditions. On average, it occurs at a rate of about 2 millimeters per day.
