Instruction
1
Buying the sealant for the first time, get along with him any gun. When processing large holes, use an electric – it will make your task several times. If the work surface is small (for example, the seam in the bathroom), feel free to take pneumatic.
2
Before applying the sealant tube to make. It is very important to trim the top of the spout. The angle recommended by the manufacturers and professional repairmen, 45 degrees. For easier implementation of this operation get an in store special safe knife.
3
Prepare a cartridge for operation. Press the lever of the gun as closely as possible to the handle, pull the metal pin in the empty space place the tube of caulking. Push it a piston gun. Apply sealant necessary by pressing the trigger. Their principle of action is similar to the regular syringe.
4
Clean the dirt from the surface for application of sealant. Degrease it with a special compound. Wipe it with a cloth. Please note that the surface as the sealant should be at room temperature (or below +5 and above +40 degrees).
5
To the surface along the processed holes parallel glue strips of masking tape or duct tape. Make sure the distance between them equal, and the sealant is formed in the middle of the ribbons. Thus, the surplus material should not be on the surface, and glued the strips.
6
Hold the gun at an equal distance from the seam when it is processed. Try to maintain the same pressure and velocity distribution along the entire length of the work. In case of too rapid application of the sealant will form a thin intermittent stripes with bubbles. A slow application can cause the formation of large amounts of waste and unreasonable waste of material. You will also need to spend more time on cleaning the surfaces from excess sealant.
7
After applying peel off the tape, soak the wand with a tissue or your finger in soapy water (can use regular shampoo or shower gel). Gently correct any irregularities from the application. Wait for full drying of sealant.
