not crack, even when used on expansion and control joints or crown molding.
Formulated to last 50 years or more. Meets the performance requirements
of ASTM C-920 standard specification for Elastomeric joint sealants, Type S, Grade NS, Class 25. Use NT, G, A and M and the requirements of federal Spec TT-S-00230c (COMNBS0), Type II, Class A. |
| Prominent Features |
|
| Uses | Ideal
for sealing cracks, seams and joints around windows, doors, woodwork,
siding, flashing, air conditioners and bathroom and kitchen counters |
| Limitations | Not
intended for under water use. Do not apply when rain is expected. Keep
from freezing. Not for use on food contact areas. |
| Surface Preparation | Surface
must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, oil, mildew, wax,
loose paint and old caulking material. Prime bare surfaces before caulking. |
| Application | Apply
only when sealant and surface temperatures are above 40ºF (10ºC). Cut
nozzle at a 45º angle to desired thickness of bead. Apply with a standard
or ALLPRO® Dripless™ caulking gun. Use steady pressure
to completely fill joints. For a neat appearance, smooth bead with a moistened
brush or cloth. Remove excess material before cured using a water moistened
cloth. For best results, cured beads should be between 1/8" - 1/2"
wide and 1/8" - 1/4" deep. Use backing rod or back-up filler
such as Ethafoam for cracks deeper than 1/4". Allow sealant to dry at least 2 hours (longer in cool or humid conditions) before painting with latex or oil-based paint. |

organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if
