Installation guide
  1. The surface, that silicone will be apllied on, should be clean, free of dust, grease, rust, remains of old seal and other substances that might weaken the cohesion.
  2. Prior to application of silicone protect edges with masking tape
  3. Cut the tip of the cartridge, leaving part of the thread. Screw the applicator on to the thread, then cut at the required angle to give an aperture width suited to the joint.
  4. Use manual or pneumatic gun applicator.
  5. Applied silicone may be smoothed with a spatula or similar tool. Moisten the spatula first in special wetting agent or detergent solution.
  6. The silicone hardens by reaction with moisture from the air, so ensure well-ventilated conditions.
  7. After completing the application, wipe tools with a paper towel and clean with solvent.
