Acrylic Adhesive Sealant Plus Silicone is a very durable all purpose
acrylic latex sealant, possessing excellent whiteness retention,
superlative adhesion to most construction surfaces and superior

lasts for 45 years. A premium sealant with microscopic air removed to
ensure the maximum in durability and gunability. Available in brilliant
white. |
| Prominent Features |
|
| Uses | Ideal for interior and/or exterior sealing of cracks in wood trim, metal and masonry. Off-Whites can be applied over matching painted surfaces eliminating delays in painting. Can be painted with latex or oil based paint when dry. (Generally within 4 to 6 hours, depending on climatic conditions.) Will adhere to wood, metal, glass, concrete, marble, brick and ceramic tile. |
| Limitations | Not suitable for underwater use. Do not apply when rain is expected. Keep from freezing. |
| Surface Preparation | Surface must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, oil, mildew, wax, loose paint or loose wallcovering. When re-caulking, remove all old caulking compound. |
| Application | Apply caulk at surface temperatures of at least 50ºF (10ºC) with a conventional caulking gun, to a primed or unprimed, clean surface. Smooth bead with moistened brush or cloth. For best results cured beads should be at least 1/8" wide, but not more than 1/2" wide. For deeper than 1/2" joints, use a backup filler material such as Ethafoam. |
| Clean Up | Clean up 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. |
| Limited Warranty | If,
when applied as directed, this material peels, cracks or separates
within 45 years after application, it will be replaced without charge
upon presentation of proof of purchase and used cartridge. This limited
warranty only applies to residential use and damages including
consequential damage and other remedies are excluded. No other
