Application
PREPARATION OF WOODEN FLOORS BEFORE SEALANT APPLICATION
The state of the surface before joint grouting determines the subsequent quality of the joint. If necessary, degrease oily timber with acetone and allow to dry.
Underfloor heating
Underfloor heating must be in operation for three weeks, turn off the heating at least 48 hours before installing the flooring. It should be gradually turned on one week after bonding and joint caulking.
APPLICATION
Apply a masking tape along grooves to be treated.
Cut off the plastic top above the screw thread. Screw on the plastic nozzle. Apply sealant in a continuous bead into the gap, completely filling it and over applying the sealant by 15 to 25% of its volume.
After 2 to 3 days curing, remove the masking tape and cut off the surplus with a special knife.
REMARKS
- Leave the nozzle on the opened cartridge, to re-use it replace the nozzle.
- Work in a dust-free environment
- Store the wood flooring in a dry place.
Cleaning
Fresh spillages should be cleaned immediately with acetone. Cured sealant can only be removed mechanically.
