FAQs

What is the best way to apply this sealant?

Use a standard sealant gun, cut the nozzle to the desired bead size, and apply a steady bead. Smooth the bead immediately with a damp cloth or tool for a professional finish. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry beforehand.

How long does the sealant take to cure?

Cure time can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, it becomes tack-free in a few hours and fully cures within 24-48 hours. Refer to the product packaging for specific cure times.

Can I paint over this sealant?

Yes, the sealant offers superior paintability. Ensure it is fully cured before painting for best results.

Is this sealant suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?

Yes, it is designed for interior and exterior use and offers lifetime durability, withstanding various weather conditions once fully cured.

How do I clean up uncured sealant?

Uncured sealant can be cleaned up with soap and water. For cured sealant, mechanical removal or appropriate solvents may be necessary.

What does 'Low VOC' mean for me?

Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the product emits fewer fumes during application and curing, contributing to better air quality in your home.

Does the antimicrobial protection prevent all types of mould?

The HomeShield™ Antimicrobial Protection is designed to ensure against the worst types of mould and mildew on the cured sealant. Proper ventilation and cleaning practices are still recommended, especially in consistently damp environments.

Troubleshooting

Sealant won't extrude from the cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is properly loaded into the sealant gun and that the nozzle tip has been cut appropriately. Check that the inner seal has been punctured.

Sealant is not adhering to the surface

Verify that the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or loose paint. Reapply sealant after thorough surface preparation.

Uneven sealant bead

Maintain a consistent speed and angle while applying the sealant. Use a smoothing tool or damp cloth immediately after application to create a uniform bead.

Mould or mildew growth after application

While the product has antimicrobial properties, ensure proper ventilation in damp areas. For existing issues, remove affected sealant and reapply, ensuring the area is dry.
