FAQs

What surfaces can this sealant be used on?

It adheres well to a wide variety of common building materials, including wood, brick, concrete, plaster, glass, and metal. Always test on a small area if unsure.

Is this sealant suitable for exterior use?

Yes, the OB1 sealant features a waterproof and weatherproof formula, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

How long does it take to cure?

Curing times vary depending on temperature, humidity, and bead size. It typically skins over within minutes and fully cures over a period of hours to days for full strength and water resistance. Refer to the product packaging for specific details.

Can I paint over the sealant once it has cured?

Generally, once fully cured, most paints can be applied over the sealant. However, it's always recommended to test compatibility with your chosen paint in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the shelf life of the sealant?

Unopened tubes stored correctly in a cool, dry place typically have a shelf life of around 12-18 months. Check the packaging for specific batch information.

How should I clean up uncured sealant?

Uncured sealant can be wiped away with a damp cloth. For more stubborn residue, a small amount of mineral spirits can be used cautiously, after testing on a small area.

What is the volume of sealant in one tube?

Each tube contains 290ml of OB1 Multi-Surface Construction Sealant & Adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not dispensing or dispensing unevenly

Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly and the inner seal is fully punctured. Check that the sealant tube is properly seated in the sealant gun.

Poor adhesion to surface

Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust, grease, or old sealant. Ensure the surface is sound and porous materials are properly primed if necessary.

Sealant remains tacky after application

This can occur in very humid or cold conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate application temperatures. Curing times are dependent on temperature and humidity.

Inability to smooth the bead for a neat finish

Work in smaller sections and use a smoothing tool or a wet finger (with water or a mild detergent solution) immediately after application before the sealant begins to skin over.
