Prepare clean, compatible joint faces
Remove loose material and old residues using methods suitable for the substrates. Confirm whether the grade requires a primer or a backing material. Check the safety sheet and ventilation instructions before work.
Control the bead and tooling
Use a gun suited to the pack and joint. Apply an even bead and tool it within the grade’s stated working time. Follow the joint dimensions and application temperatures in the product and project instructions.
Allow the specified cure
Surface skinning and full cure are different. Keep the joint protected from unsuitable loading or exposure for the specified period. For a purchase trial, record the substrate, preparation, bead dimensions and conditions.
