| 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.
