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.
 
Clean Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water
 
Disposal Contains organic solvents which may cause adverse effects to the environment if disposed of improperly. Place empty containers in normal refuse for disposal. Contact your local sanitation department or household hazardous waste coordinator for information concerning possible reuse or disposal of unused solvent-containing adhesives and/or sealants.
