- Set up the surface by thoroughly cleaning it. This process guarantees a solid grip between the sealant and the surface by eliminating the old sealant layer and other debris.
- To make sure that your sealant stays inside without spreading and you end up with an aesthetic repair, use masking tape around the joint to be fixed.
- Hold the can at a 45° angle and apply silicone sealant ahead of the nozzle to accomplish a smooth seal.
- Use your finger or a damp paper towel to complete tooling immediately. Afterward, use a dry towel to eliminate excess material.
- Take note of these timings:
- Sealant takes around five minutes to form a skin.
- It dries to touch in around 60 minutes.
- The curing and bonding time takes another 24 hours.
So, allow your surface 7 days to rest & arrive at its most extreme strength.
- If you haven’t utilized the full cylinder of sealant at a single project and want to store it for your next DIY, make sure that you seal the tip with masking tape or grease to forestall air exposure.
- Remember, silicone is not good for your health, so once you are done with your project, wipe your hands with a dry cloth, and afterward wash them thoroughly with a cleanser and water.
- On your first go, you might end up finishing your can much before your project and multiple imperfect layers of sealant on your surface but with practice, you will build up the speedy application while reducing Sealant wastage and least physical effort.
