5. Installation Instructions
Application
Maintain surface temperature between 40ºF and 90ºF (4ºC and
32ºC) during installation and for 24 hours thereafter. For expansion
joints or perimeter sealing, the ratio of the joint width to sealant
depth should be roughly 2:1. Apply to clean, dry surfaces free from
dirt, grease, and existing sealant. For deep joints first install
polyurethane or plyethylene foam backer rod. For shallow joints use
polyethylene tape. Metal, glass and plastic surfaces should be
cleaned by mechanical or solvent procedures. Simple detergent or
soap and water treatments are not acceptable. In all cases where
utilized, solvents should be wiped on and off with clean, oil and lint
free cloths. Cut nozzle at angle to desired bead size. Use masking
tape on both sides of joint to allow for easy clean up. Fill joint
completely and tool to desired thickness immediately before a skin
forms. Remove masking tape immediately after tooling and wipe any
sealant off the face of the veneer. Skins over within 10 minutes.
When sealing limestone or other porous stone, conduct small test
area to verify non-staining as variations exist.
Clean Up
Clean-up or remove from unintended areas before sealant skins
over. Wipe hands with dry cloth to remove sealant. Wash with soap
and water.
