• Easy clean up
• Certified under the harmonized European standard EN15651 for façade interior and exterior applications in compliance with the Construction Product Regulation

 

Areas for Use

• Internal and external sealing around timber and metal window and door frames, 
• Internal sealing around Pvcu window and door frames.
• Sealing cracks and gaps in brickwork, stone and concrete.

 

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be clean and dust free.  All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application. Highly porous substrates such as new plaster should first be primed with Everbuild PVA bond diluted 1:4 with water. This product can be applied to slightly damp, but not wet surfaces.

 

Application

Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread.  Apply nozzle and cut cleanly at an angle of 45° with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be sealed.  Apply using a standard sealant gun.  Best results will be obtained by keeping an even pressure on the gun trigger and keeping the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed. Smooth down within 20 minutes of application using a wetted spatula, piece of wood or wetted finger.  Care should be taken at this point not to saturate the surface as this will delay drying.  Any excess sealant etc. can be removed using a sponge and warm water.
