FAQs
Can this sealant be painted over once cured?
While OB1 construction sealant and adhesive provides a durable finish, it is generally not recommended for painting over. Its primary function is sealing and bonding. If a paintable finish is required, consider a specific paintable sealant product.
What is the shelf life of the OB1 terracotta sealant?
Unopened OB1 sealant typically has a shelf life of at least 12-18 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Is this product suitable for plumbing applications?
This sealant is designed for general construction, sealing, bonding, and filling. For direct, continuous water immersion or high-pressure plumbing joints, specialized plumbing sealants or tapes are recommended.
How long does it take for the sealant to fully cure?
Curing times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and bead thickness. Typically, it becomes tack-free within a few hours and fully cures within 24-48 hours.
Can I use this product to bond dissimilar materials?
Yes, the OB1 multi-surface formula is designed to bond a wide variety of common construction materials, including wood to metal, ceramic to concrete, and more.
What size sealant gun do I need for this 290ml tube?
The 290ml tube is designed for use with standard 290ml or 300ml skeleton sealant guns, which are widely available.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly and the inner seal is pierced. Check that the sealant tube is properly seated in the application gun and apply firm, steady pressure.
Poor adhesion
Verify that surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or loose paint. For challenging materials, consider surface preparation or a primer as recommended for construction adhesives.
Uneven bead application
Practice applying steady pressure to the sealant gun trigger and moving at a consistent speed along the joint. Adjust nozzle angle for optimal coverage.
Sealant remains tacky or won't cure fully
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range and that there is adequate air circulation. Avoid excessive application thickness, as this can slow curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the OB1 Terracotta Multi-Surface Construction Sealant & Adhesive, ensure you have a standard sealant application gun. Cut the nozzle tip at an angle to achieve the desired bead size and pierce the inner seal if present. Apply steady pressure to the gun trigger to dispense the sealant evenly.
Compatibility: This product offers strong adhesion to a wide range of common building materials including concrete, brick, stone, wood, metal, glass, and certain plastics. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Priming may be necessary for certain porous or difficult surfaces. Always test adhesion on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Unused sealant should be stored in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Once opened, ensure the nozzle is cleared of excess material or capped effectively to prolong shelf life. Clean up any fresh spills or excess sealant immediately with a damp cloth. Cured sealant can be more difficult to remove and may require mechanical means or appropriate solvents.
