Troubleshooting
Sealant is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any oils, dust, or old sealant before application. Reapply after proper surface preparation.
Sealant is stringy or difficult to apply
Check that the inner seal of the cartridge was properly punctured. Ensure the caulking gun is functioning correctly and providing consistent pressure.
Surface appears moldy after application
The sealant is mildew resistant when cured, but surrounding areas may still be susceptible. Clean the affected area with a mild bleach solution and water. Ensure adequate ventilation during and after application.
Sealant cracked or shrunk
This typically indicates a surface movement issue or application in extreme temperatures. Ensure the joint is suitable for sealant use and apply within the recommended temperature range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant. Cut the cartridge nozzle at a 45-degree angle to achieve the desired bead size. Puncture the inner seal before loading the cartridge into a standard caulking gun.
Application: Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the gap or joint. For best results, tool the bead immediately after application using a damp cloth or tool to ensure good contact and a smooth finish. Use mild soap and water for tooling.
Compatibility: This sealant adheres to glass, fiberglass, ceramic, non-oily woods, porcelain, most metals, most plastics, most rubbers, painted surfaces, brick, stone, and stucco. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area for compatibility with specific plastics and rubbers before full application.
Care: Once cured, the sealant can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the seal. For maintenance, ensure surrounding areas are kept clean to prevent debris buildup that could compromise the seal over time.
