Everbuild Builders Silicone 300ml Clear

Preparation:

• The surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from dust, grease and other contaminants.
• Improve adhesion by wiping surface with EVERBUILDPVC SOLVENT CLEANER (PVC), EVERBUILD GLASS CLEANER glass) or white spirits (painted surfaces).
• Priming is generally not required, although we always advise testing small areas prior to use.
• If use of primer is desired for non-porous surface use Silicone Primer NP2 or for porous surface use Silicone Primer P1.

Joint design should be as follows:

• Minimum width: 6mm.
• Movement capacity will be impaired if the depth of the joint is greater than the width.

For maximum movement accommodation, it is recommended that:

• The joint depth should be no less than 5mm
• Joint depth should be 6mm for joints up to 10mm wide
• Joints above 10mm in width should be half the width in depth e.g. 20mm wide and 10mm deep.
• For deep joints, reduce depth by using EVERBUILD FIX AND FILL EXPANDING FOAM or a suitable joint backer rod.
• All joints should be designed so that the seal is placed in a position which does not retain water or form a water trap.
• Triangular fillets should be no less than 12mm across the face and should be finished with a flat or convex face.

Application & Tools:

• Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread.
• Apply nozzle and cut at an angle of 45° with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be sealed.
• Apply using a standard sealant gun.
• Best results will be obtained by keeping an even pressure on the trigger and keeping the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed.
• To ensure a proper bond, always smooth the sealant down with a spatula or piece of wood.
• An improved joint appearance can be achieved by placing masking tape to both sides of the joint, removing within 5 minutes of application.

Cleaning tools:

• Uncured sealant white spirit,
• cured sealant EVERFLEX SILICONE EATER.
