Everbuild General Purpose Silicone Sealant 280ml White

Preparation:

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free.
• All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application.
• Glass, steel and aluminium should be cleaned with a proprietary solvent prior to application for optimum adhesion.
• Porous surfaces may require priming - a small area should be tested first.

Application & Tools:

• Reference should be made to the recommended joint ratios.
• If necessary reduce joint depth using EVERBUILD® FIX AND FILL expanding foam, or joint backer rod.
• Furthermore, ensure that the joint design only permits adhesion to two surfaces, as three sided adhesion will impair flexibility.
• Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread.
• Apply nozzle and cut cleanly 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 gun trigger and keeping the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed.
• For Easi Squeeze tube, cut nozzle at a 45° with an opening slightly larger than gap to be sealed.
• Apply applying even pressure to the tube.
• Smooth down within 15 minutes of application.
• To ensure a proper bond, always smooth the sealant down using a spatula or piece of wood wetted with a soap and water solution.
• An improved appearance can be achieved by placing masking tape to both sides of the joint and removing within 5 minutes of application.
