Troubleshooting
Sealant not adhering properly
Ensure surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old sealant. Reapply after thorough surface preparation.
Uneven bead or application
Practice applying with a sealant gun on a scrap piece of material. Ensure consistent pressure and speed. Smooth the bead immediately after application.
Sealant looks weak or is cracking
This is unlikely with this high-modulus formula if applied correctly. Ensure the product has not passed its shelf life and was stored properly. Reapply if an old or improperly formulated product was used.
