Directions:
Safety Precautions:
Wear safety glasses and gloves and wash hands after use.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure all joints and surfaces are clean and free of grease, dust, water and other contaminants. Molded sealants should first
be cleaned with mold remover then thoroughly rinsed with water. Ensure surface is dry before applying RE-NEW.
Application:
Remove the cap and position the applicator at an angle (approximately 90°) to the joint so that the edges of the applicator
have full contact with both faces of the joint. Squeeze out the product while moving the applicator along the joint making sure
that the product is in full contact with the sealant to be coated. If unsatisfied with bead, remove product immediately with a
damp cloth and apply again. In case of vertical joints, it is recommended to apply the product from the bottom up. If it is
necessary, pass over the joint again without pressing. Wait 6 hours before water contact and avoid contact with cleaning
agents for 24 hours after application.
Clean-up:
Clean applicator with a damp cloth after use and close the cap. Cured sealant must be carefully cut away with a sharp-edged
tool.
