FAQs

What surfaces can I use this sealant on?

This silicone is suitable for sealing around baths, showers, basins, sanitary ware, fixing Pvcu trims, cladding, panels, worktops, laminates, and more. It can also be used on metal, timber, and Pvcu window frames.

Is this sealant suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it can be used outdoors for applications like sealing around window and door frames and aluminium gutter sealing.

Can I paint over this sealant?

No, this product is non-overpaintable.

How long does it take for the sealant to cure?

The curing time can vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity), but it typically cures quickly. Check the product label for specific details.

Can I use this sealant in an aquarium?

No, this product is not recommended for aquarium manufacture. Use EVERFLEX AQUAMATE instead.

What should I do if the sealant doesn't stick?

Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris. You may need to use a primer on certain surfaces. Ensure that the surface is compatible with the product.

How do I remove old sealant?

Carefully cut away the old sealant with a sharp knife or a sealant removal tool. Clean the surface thoroughly before applying the new sealant.

Is this sealant suitable for use with double glazed units?

No, it is not recommended for use in the vicinity of or in conjunction with the edge sealant of double glazed units. Use SILICONE 450.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not adhering properly.

Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Use a solvent cleaner on non-porous surfaces. Priming may be required for porous surfaces. Check that the surface is compatible with the product.

Mold growth on the sealant.

Ensure proper ventilation and clean the area regularly. The anti-fungal properties help prevent mold, but persistent dampness can still encourage growth. Remove the old sealant and reapply.

Sealant takes a long time to cure.

Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and the temperature is within the recommended range. Excessive moisture or very low temperatures can slow the curing process. Make sure to apply the right amount of sealant for the depth of the joint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, loose particles, and old sealant. Use a proprietary solvent cleaner on glass, metal, and aluminum.
Application: Apply the silicone evenly using a sealant gun. Smooth the bead with a wet finger or a smoothing tool.
Priming: Porous surfaces may require priming. Test a small area first.
Compatibility: Avoid using with bitumen, asphalt, or in aquarium construction. Not recommended for use on soft metals like lead and brass. Check compatibility with substrates that may bleed oils, solvents or plasticisers.
Care: Avoid contact with the sealant before it has fully cured. Clean up uncured silicone with a solvent cleaner. Once cured, the sealant is low maintenance.
