Product Information

Full details

The OB1 Grey Construction Sealant is for trade professionals and DIYers tackling construction, maintenance, and repair projects. Its key benefit is providing a durable, waterproof seal and strong adhesion across multiple surfaces, with a useful grey finish for color matching. A minor consideration is its standard 290ml tube size, which may require multiple tubes for larger jobs.

FAQs

Can this sealant be painted over?

Yes, the OB1 Grey Construction Sealant can be painted over once it has fully cured. Ensure the sealant is completely dry before applying paint.

What is the shelf life of the sealant?

Unopened tubes typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it's best to use within a few weeks, ensuring the nozzle is sealed to prevent air exposure.

Is this suitable for use in bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, its waterproof and weatherproof properties make it suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms, particularly for sealing around sinks, baths, and shower trays. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.

How long does it take to cure?

Cure times vary depending on temperature, humidity, and bead size. Generally, it becomes tack-free within 1-2 hours and fully cures within 24-48 hours. Refer to the product packaging for specific details.

Can I use this to bond dissimilar materials?

Yes, the OB1 sealant is designed for multi-surface applications and offers strong adhesion to a wide variety of common building materials, including wood, metal, concrete, and glass.

What is the difference between sealant and adhesive?

While this product functions as both, a sealant primarily fills gaps to prevent the passage of fluids or air, providing protection against weather. An adhesive is designed to bond two surfaces together strongly. OB1 combines both functions for versatile use.

Does it come with a sealant gun?

No, the OB1 Multi-Surface Construction Sealant is supplied in a 290ml tube and requires a standard sealant gun for application, which is sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not dispensing

Ensure the tube's inner seal is properly punctured and the sealant gun is properly loaded and operated.

Poor adhesion

Verify that surfaces were clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before application. Ensure adequate pressure was applied during application.

Uneven bead application

Adjust the angle of the sealant gun and apply steady, consistent pressure. Trim the nozzle to an appropriate size for the gap being filled.

Sealant skinning over too quickly

Work in smaller sections and apply the sealant promptly after starting. Ensure good ventilation, but avoid excessive airflow directly onto the bead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be sealed or bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material.
  2. Cut the nozzle tip to the desired bead size.
  3. Puncture the inner seal of the tube.
  4. Insert the tube into a standard sealant gun.
  5. Apply the sealant evenly along the joint or surface.

Compatibility:

This sealant is compatible with a wide range of common building materials including concrete, brick, plaster, wood, metal, glass, and most plastics. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive surfaces.

Care:

  • Storage: Store tubes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the nozzle is capped or sealed to prevent drying out.
  • Cleaning: Fresh, uncured sealant can be cleaned using a damp cloth or appropriate solvent. Cured sealant will require mechanical removal.
  • Curing: Allow adequate curing time before exposing to moisture or stress. Refer to product packaging for specific cure times.
