Troubleshooting

Sealant not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any contaminants. Use a primer if necessary for non-porous surfaces.

Sealant has bubbles or an uneven finish

Apply the sealant at a consistent speed and use a sealant finishing tool or a wet finger to smooth it immediately after application.

Sealant is taking too long to cure

Ensure proper ventilation and that the room temperature is within the recommended range on the product label. Excessive humidity can also slow the curing process.
