Application Guide
-
Surface Preparation:
-
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
-
Remove any loose or flaking paint, old sealants, or mastic.
-
For highly porous surfaces (e.g., new plaster), prime with Arc PVA Bond (diluted 1:4 with water).
-
Can be applied to slightly damp surfaces, but not wet ones.
How to Apply:
-
Prepare the cartridge – Cut the tip and attach the nozzle. Trim at a 45° angle to suit the joint width.
-
Apply the caulk – Using a standard sealant gun, maintain even pressure and a steady angle for a smooth application.
-
Smooth the seal – Use a wetted spatula, gloved finger, or piece of wood within 20 minutes of application.
-
Clean excess caulk – Use a damp sponge or warm water before it dries.
-
Allow to dry – Overpaint once a surface skin has formed (typically 1-2 hours).
âš Tip: Avoid overpainting before the caulk has dried, as movement in the paint film could cause cracks.
