  • Do not attempt to abrade when cured.
  • Do not overpaint until a surface skin has formed.
  • Note: this product is a flexible. Certain poor quality paints (especially certain vinyl matts) have very little movement in the dry film. It is possible for the dry paint film to crack if movement is excessive.

  Surface 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. Highly porous substrates such as new plaster should first be primed with a dilution of Caulk with water at a ratio of 1:2.  Can be applied to slightly damp surfaces.

  Application

  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. Smooth down within 20 minutes of application using a wetted spatula, piece of wood or wetted finger.  Care should be taken at this point not to saturate the surface as this will delay drying.  Any excess sealant etc. can be removed using a sponge and warm water. Can be overpainted after 1 hour.
