Evo-Stik Frame Silicone Sealant - 290ml - Clear

Silicone sealants, including the Evo-Stik Frame Silicone Sealant, are generally not paintable. Paint will not adhere well to the silicone surface.

The product offers performance durability of up to 25 years in demanding environmental conditions.

While it offers weatherproofing, it is specifically formulated for frames and building joints. For wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, consider a mold-resistant silicone sealant.

You will need a standard cartridge sealant gun for application. This is not typically included with the cartridge.

Tack-free within approximately 30 minutes and fully cured within 24-48 hours, depending on bead size and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).

Yes, it is compatible with hardwood frames and provides lasting weatherproofing for exterior applications.

'Low modulus' means the sealant is very flexible and can accommodate significant joint movement. 'Neutral cure' indicates it releases a non-acidic vapor during curing, making it safe for use on most building materials without causing corrosion or damage.

Ensure the cartridge's inner seal is pierced and that the sealant gun's trigger mechanism is fully engaged with the cartridge plunger.

Verify that the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous coatings. Ensure the product was applied to suitable materials as per compatibility guidelines.

Practice applying a consistent bead on a scrap surface. Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly for the joint width and that the sealant gun is operated at a steady speed. Smooth the bead immediately after application.

Ensure application occurred within the recommended temperature range and that excessive amounts were not applied in a single layer. In very humid conditions, cure times can be extended. Check the product's expiration date.
