Surfaces to be bonded should be cleaned of all dust, oils, and other contaminants. A solvent wipe is often adequate. Bond to rigid surfaces are typically improved by a solvent wipe followed by light abrasion (180 grit) and another solvent wipe to remove abrasive residue. Dry surfaces thoroughly before applying sealant.

Easy to use. Simply apply a bead of adhesive/sealant to surface at temperatures above 40°F. The applied bead will shrink approximately 55% so no tooling is necessary for most applications. Bead surface will be tack free in 15-45 minutes, depending on ambient conditions.
