Safety Precautions
Apply and cure in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves and wash hands after use.
Preparation
Use between -35°F (-37°C) and 140°F (60°C). Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of old caulk, grease, dust and other contaminants. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent. Complete preparatory work before opening sealant. Remove cap. Puncture inner seal with other side of cap. Attach nozzle and cut to desired bead size. Gaskets are best formed using a 1/16'' to ¼'' bead.
Application
As an adhesive or gasket:
Apply a even, continuous bead of silicone gasket maker to one surface. Assemble parts immediately. Remove excess with a knife at once.
As a sealant:
Hold the tube at an angle and apply by pushing the material ahead of the nozzle. Apply enough sealant to contact both surfaces of the crack. Do not use in joints deeper than ½'' without the use of proper backer rod. Use in joints between ¼'' and ¾'' wide. To further shape or smooth the bead, use a dry paper towel. Complete within 5 to 10 minutes and immediately remove excess with a dry paper towel.
Silicone is tack-free in approximately 30 minutes and fully cures in about 24 hours. Replace cap after use.
Cleanup
Clean tools and adhesive residue immediately with mineral spirits. Cured sealant may be carefully cut away with a sharp-edged tool.
