FAQs

Is Soudal Fix All Crystal suitable for use in aquariums?

While it's food safe, we do not recommend this sealant for aquariums, as prolonged, direct contact with water may affect performance. Use a sealant specifically designed for aquarium use.

Can I paint over Soudal Fix All Crystal?

Yes, Soudal Fix All Crystal is overpaintable once it has fully cured. This allows for a seamless finish in your projects.

How long does it take for the sealant to cure?

Curing time varies depending on the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) and the thickness of the sealant. Refer to the product packaging for specific curing times. Usually, it takes 24-48 hours.

Can I use Soudal Fix All Crystal on wet surfaces?

Yes, Soudal Fix All Crystal can be applied to damp or humid surfaces. However, ensure that standing water is removed before application for optimal adhesion.

How do I clean up excess sealant?

Uncured sealant can be cleaned with a solvent, such as white spirit or mineral spirits. Once cured, it may be necessary to remove it mechanically (e.g., with a scraper).

What is the shelf life of Soudal Fix All Crystal?

The shelf life of the product is typically 12 months from the production date, when stored in its original, unopened packaging, in a cool and dry place.

Is this product suitable for use on mirrors?

Yes, Soudal Fix All Crystal is suitable for use on mirrors. Ensure the mirror's backing is compatible with the sealant and follow the surface preparation guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Sealant isn't sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a suitable primer if necessary for non-porous surfaces. Roughen smooth surfaces with sandpaper to improve adhesion.

Sealant is not curing properly.

Check the expiration date. Ensure adequate ventilation and temperature during curing. Low temperatures can slow down the curing process.

Sealant has a cloudy appearance.

This can happen if the sealant is applied in overly humid conditions. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during application and curing. Remove and reapply.

The sealant is shrinking after application.

This may be due to the application of too thin a layer. Apply the sealant in the correct thickness, and allow proper curing time.
