Everbuild Silicone 825 Brick Red is a low modulus, neutral cure silicone sealant ideal for various...Everbuild Silicone 825 Brick Red is a low modulus, neutral cure silicone sealant ideal for various sealing applications. It's specially formulated for a strong, flexible bond on numerous surfaces, including brick, concrete, glass, metal, and wood. This silicone sealant cures by reacting with moisture in the air, releasing a vinegar-like odor during the process. It remains flexible after curing, which allows it to accommodate expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, preventing cracking and leaks in the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose particles, dust, oil, and grease. Use a suitable cleaner if needed.
Application: Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size and apply the sealant using a sealant gun. Apply at a consistent rate to ensure full contact with the surfaces.
Tooling: Tool the sealant within the recommended time frame (typically within 5-10 minutes) to achieve a smooth finish and ensure proper adhesion.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of materials. Always test in an inconspicuous area to check compatibility before full application. Avoid use on surfaces that are not fully cured or in direct contact with solvents.
Cure Time: Allow the sealant to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before exposing it to stress or the elements. Cure times vary depending on temperature and humidity.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
