Surface Preparation
The surfaces to
be must be clean, and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. New
concrete or mortar should be allowed adequate time to dry and mature. May be
applied to wet surfaces.
Application
For lap
joints, apply sufficient sealant to
bridge the gap and press surfaces together while still tacky leaving a minimum
2 mm sealant film.
Cut the tip of
the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread. Apply nozzle and cut at an
angle of 45o 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 wetted with linseed oil or white spirits.
An improved joint appearance can be achieved by placing masking tape to both
sides of the joint, removing within 5 minutes of application.
When using as
an adhesive, press surfaces together, pull apart and wait for approx. 10
minutes until sealant becomes tacky., then press together and apply even
pressure.
Clean tools in
turps or white spirits.
