FAQs

Do I need a sealant gun to use this product?

No, this UniBond sealant comes in a ready-to-use pack with a built-in trigger mechanism, eliminating the need for a separate sealant gun.

How long does it take to cure?

The sealant cures quickly. While it sticks in seconds, full curing time depends on ambient conditions, but it's generally designed for a fast return to use.

Is this sealant suitable for outdoor use?

This product is specifically designed for wet indoor environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is not intended for outdoor applications.

Can I paint over this sealant?

Silicone sealants are generally not designed to be painted over. It is best to apply the sealant after painting or to use a paintable sealant if required.

What surfaces can I use this sealant on?

It is suitable for use around baths, basins, showers, toilets, sinks, worktops, and tiled surfaces in wet areas.

How do I remove old sealant before applying the new one?

Use a sharp knife or a dedicated sealant remover tool to carefully cut and peel away the old sealant. Ensure the surface is clean and dry afterwards.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unused product should be stored in a cool, dry place. Refer to the packaging for specific expiry date information.

Troubleshooting

Sealant is not dispensing

Ensure the safety seal has been fully broken and removed. Check that the trigger mechanism is not obstructed.

Uneven application or poor bead

Practice applying to a scrap surface. Ensure a consistent, light squeeze on the trigger and maintain the 45° angle. Smooth immediately after application.

Sealant not sticking or peeling

The surface may not have been properly cleaned and dried before application. Remove the old sealant and reapply to a completely dry, dust-free surface.

Mould reappears quickly

While the sealant is mould-resistant, persistent high humidity and inadequate ventilation can still encourage mould growth. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated. Clean any new mould growth promptly with a mild detergent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to apply without a sealant gun.
  • Provides effective waterproofing for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Mould-resistant properties help maintain hygiene.
  • Fast curing time minimizes disruption.
  • Low odour for a more pleasant user experience.
  • The ready-to-use pack ensures a consistent application.

Cons

  • Might require more pressure for initial application compared to a gun.
  • Specific use cases are limited to wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
  • May not be suitable for very large or complex sealing jobs requiring precise control.
  • The white colour may not match all décor schemes.
  • Requires removal of existing sealant before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area to be sealed is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant. Remove any existing sealant completely.
  2. Open the Sealant: Break the safety seal on the tube and remove the cap.
  3. Position the Nozzle: Turn the nozzle 90° to orient it for application.
  4. Apply: Lightly squeeze the trigger and apply the sealant at a 45° angle along the joint, ensuring continuous coverage.
  5. Smooth: Use a damp cloth or a smoothing tool to achieve a neat finish. This should be done quickly after application as the sealant begins to cure fast.

Compatibility:

This sealant is designed for use around baths, basins, showers, toilets, sinks, worktops, and tiled surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens. It adheres well to non-porous surfaces common in these environments.

Care:

To maintain the seal, periodically clean the area with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could degrade the sealant over time. If mould appears, clean the area gently. The sealant's inherent mould-resistant properties should minimize this.
