Specially designed to seal in damp and humid areas. Our sanitary grade sealant has a lifespan of 25 years and a movement value of 25%.

Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease or any contaminants that may hinder adhesion. Remove any old sealant.

Application

Apply using a standard sealant gun with the nozzle cut at an angle of 45°, and to an opening slightly larger than the joint to be sealed.

For bath surrounds: Half fill the bath with water to allow sealant to be applied at joint mid point. If necessary masking tape may be applied. If large gaps are to be filled, polythene foam, rod or tape should be used to provide support and minimise sealant wastage. Tool down within 5 minutes using a wet spatula or sealant applicator tool. Any trims should be bedded into the silicone within 5 minutes.

For sealing waste outlets in sinks and baths: Glue Strip Sealant should be applied so that it will be in compression after tightening of connecting pipes.
