Uses Suitable for tubs, sinks, showers and tiles. Bonds metal, glass, wood, ceramic, molding, paneling, hardware. Seals gutters, air conditioners, cracks, joints, doors, floor and wall cracks. It may also be used as an adhesive to mount a backsplash or loose ceramic tile.

 

Limitations Not recommended for use on mirrors, aquariums or under water. 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 caulk and surface temperatures are above 50° F (10° C). Cut nozzle at a 45° angle to desired thickness of bead. Apply with a standard caulking gun. Use steady pressure to completely fill joints. For a neat appearance, smooth bead with a moistened brush or cloth. For best results, cured beads should be between 1/8" - 1/4" deep. A 1/8" X 1/4" bead will yield approximately 51 linear feet of caulk per cartridge. IMPORTANT: Use backer rod for cracks and seams deeper that 1/4". Remove excess material before cure with a moistened cloth. If used in a bathroom application, allow 48 hours before exposing to moisture.

 

Clean Up Clean up tools with water immediately after use.

 

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.
