Troubleshooting

Sealant isn't adhering properly.

Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any contaminants before application. Use an appropriate cleaner for the surface material. Consider priming the surface if necessary.

Sealant is cracking after application.

This could be due to movement in the frame or improper application. Ensure the bead is applied evenly and fills the gap completely. If the movement is excessive, consider using a more flexible sealant designed for that purpose.

Sealant is taking too long to dry.

Make sure the environmental conditions are dry. Ensure that the sealant is not exposed to moisture during the curing period. Ensure that the correct amount of sealant is applied.
