STEP #1 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION PASTE IN A CARTRIDGE
1. Make sure the areas being sealed are clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, dirt, and debris.
1
2. Cut the nib o the Flood Paste (cartridge), screw on nozzle, and cut the nozzle to the desired
bead thickness.
3. Apply an even layer of Flood Paste around the pipe where it meets the wall, lling in any voids.
2
4. Use your gloved nger, Flex Gap Filler tool or other similar tool to rmly push the Flood Paste deep
into the gap and smooth it out.
3
NOTE: The valve itself does not need to be sealed, as it is already watertight.
5. Let Flood Paste dry to the touch (2-6 hours*).
6. Apply additional coats as necessary to help ensure all openings are sealed using the same process
as above. Each additional coat should wider and overlap the previous one. Let each coat dry to the
touch before applying the next coat.

STEP #2 – APPLY FLOOD PROTECTION SPRAY OR LIQUID
1. If using Flood Spray, we recommend placing a rag over the spigot to avoid overspray.
5
Shake can for 30 seconds, then apply a light layer on top of the Flood Paste, from 8” to 12” away.
6
If using Flood Liquid, brush a generous amount on top of the Flood Paste. Using the Flood Spray or
Flood Liquid will help seal any small openings or pinholes that may have been missed.
2. Let dry to the touch (Spray: 30-60 minutes / Liquid: 3-6 hours)*.
3. Using the same process as above, apply additional coats as needed, with each coat being wider and
overlapping the previous coat. Let each coat dry to the touch before applying the next coat.

HOW TO SEAL
CONDUITS
Go to: exsealproducts.com/ood for complete video instructions.
A conduit is any pipe that goes from the inside to the outside of a structure. If there is any space between
a conduit and the structure, it will need to be sealed. A water spigot is a common conduit, which we will
use as an example for the following directions.
