How to use this product

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease, flaking/powdery paint and old or crumbling caulk. If porous surfaces are greasy or dirty, we would recommend using SELLEYS LIQUID SUGAR SOAP. If the surface is non-porous eg glass or metal, firstly clean the surface with Mineral Turpetine and then again with Methylated Spirits. If there is old difficult to remove residue such as old paint, we recommend using paint stripper such as SELLEYS KWIK STRIP SMART. Ensure the surface is dry before applying the product.
• Ensure you tape both sides of the gap before applying the product. This ensures a neat finish and makes it easier to clean up.
• Cut the seal at the top of the cartridge and cut the nozzle at a 45° angle, to the size of the gap opening. Fit the nozzle to the top of the cartridge.
• Insert the cartridge into a caulking gun such as SELLEYS LIGHT SPEED Caulking gun. We recommend SELLEYS LIGHT SPEED Caulking Gun, as its new innovative pressure release design reduces the mess which results from run on and stress on your hands, which is critical if you are doing a lot of gap filling.
• Hold the caulking gun at a 45° angle. Press the nozzle opening against the joint, apply steady pressure to the caulking gun and extrude the flexible gap filler forcing the gap filler into the gap and move along the joint in one smooth action.
• Press into the cracks and holes using a wet finger or for a professional finish use a paint scraper such as a 50mm ROTA COTA Soft Grip Scraper.
• For larger holes or cracks, 2 applications may be necessary. Allow the first application to dry before applying the second. The product will harden in 24 hours, depending on the weather.
• Clean up excess with a damp cloth immediately and clean hands and tools with water.
• Do not use or store below 5°C.
• Protect from rain until firmly skinned.
