Directions for Use
Cleaning and joint preparation: Substrates must be sound quality, clean, dry and free of
dust, grease, rust and other contaminants which may affect the adhesion. Non-porous
surfaces (such as aluminum, glass, etc.) must be free of any coatings and should be
cleaned with a suitable solvent and thoroughly dried with a clean cloth. Porous substrates
(such as concrete, brickwork, etc.) must be mechanically cleaned from loose particles or
residues with a jet of compressed air, sandpaper or hard brush. Mask off joint edges with
self-adhesive tape as protection from contamination.
Backing material: Use a polyethylene bond breaker tape or backer rod to adjust the joint
depth to proper width/depth ratio and to avoid three side adhesion which restrict the
movement capability of the sealant. Backer rod must be at least wider 25% than the joint
width.
Sealant application: Recommended application and surface temperatures: +41°F and
+104°F. Cut nozzle to obtain desired bead size. Apply the sealant as evenly as possible
by using professional caulking gun.
