Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this sealant be painted over?

This product is generally not designed to be painted over. It is best used as a visible sealant finish.

What is the shelf life of this sealant?

Unused cartridges should be stored in cool, dry conditions below 25°C. Typically, shelf life is around 12 months if stored correctly.

How long does it take to cure?

Skin formation occurs within 15-20 minutes. Full cure can take 24-48 hours depending on bead size, temperature, and humidity.

Can I use this for large gaps?

This sealant is designed for high movement joints. For very large gaps, ensure they are appropriately sized for the sealant's movement capability (up to 25% joint width) and consider backing rod if necessary.

What is the temperature range for application?

The product is typically applied between 5°C and 30°C. Check the product packaging for specific temperature recommendations.

Is this sealant suitable for bathrooms?

While it offers excellent waterproofing, it's specifically designed for frame sealing. For bathrooms, consider a dedicated mould-resistant silicone sealant if preventing mould growth is the primary concern.

What is the difference between this grey and other colours?

The colour (Grey, White, Clear) is purely aesthetic and does not affect the performance or application properties of the sealant.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not extruding from the gun.

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

Poor adhesion to the surface.

Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or other contaminants. Ensure no primer was used if the substrate required it (though this product is primerless for many common materials).

Uneven or untidy sealant bead.

Practice applying consistent pressure to the sealant gun. Use a wet smoothing tool or finger immediately after application to create a clean finish. Remove excess immediately with a damp cloth.

Sealant remains tacky after application.

Ensure application occurred within the recommended temperature range and that the surface was properly prepared. Curing time can vary based on temperature, humidity, and bead width.
