Troubleshooting
Sealer not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased with Tetrosyl Compliant Panel Wipe prior to application. Surface contamination is the most common cause of poor adhesion.
Sealer is sagging or running on vertical surfaces
This indicates the product may be applied too thickly or the ambient temperature is too high. Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Ensure the product is not disturbed during the initial curing phase.
Difficulty in brushing a smooth coat
Ensure the product is at a suitable temperature (avoid extreme cold). If the product is too stiff, allow it to warm slightly. Use a good quality nylon bristle brush and maintain consistent pressure and direction.
