King British Watertight Silicon Aquarium Sealant

About King British Watertight Silicon Aquarium Sealant

• All surfaces to be sealed must be clean, dry and free from grease. Surfaces can be cleaned using methylated spirits, applied to a tissue or cloth, before applying the sealant. 
• Remove cap and pierce tube diaphragm (25g size) / Remove nozzle, cut off end of plastic cartridge and screw on nozzle (78g size).
• Cut tip of nozzle to required width of seal.
  
• The nozzle opening must always be wider than the joint to be sealed, allowing sealant to make contact with both surfaces.
  
• Press tip of nozzle against the sides of the joint and hold the tube/cartridge at a 45 degree angle.
  
• Push the tube/cartridge while applying a steady, even pressure at the base.
  
• Ensure that a bead of sealant is ahead of the nozzle as it moves forward. 
• Smooth any inconsistencies to the finished bead with a wet instrument such as a spoon or spatula.
  
• Smooth surfaces lightly ensuring sealant makes contact with both surfaces whilst still un-cured. 
• Any excess of misapplied sealant should be removed whilst still un-cured using a tissue or cloth soaked in methylated spirits. 
• After completing the application, ensure that the sealant is kept dry and undisturbed for at least 48 hours.
