How To Use Neutral Silicone Sealant

In the construction of houses, we will use some sealant, such as neutral silicone sealant is used more, it has strong bearing capacity, good adhesion, good water resistance, suitable for glass, tile, plastic and other products bonding. Before using sealant, we should first understand the construction method of sealant, so as not to properly seal the sealant, so how to use neutral silicone sealant?

How to use neutral silicone sealant

1, the use of sealant is relatively simple, first with rags, shovels and other tools to clean up the cement mortar in the gap, dust and so on. This step is very important, if the gap cleaning is not done for construction, the sealant is prone to bonding and falling off. Next, install the sealant on the glue gun and cut the nozzle of the glue gun according to the size of the caulking gap.

2, then we stick the plastic tape on both sides of the gap, and use the glue gun to squeeze the sealant into the gap to seal it. Plastic tape on both sides of the gap is to avoid the sealant overflow during construction, touching other places such as tiles, resulting in poor removal of sealant. We compacted and smoothed the filled sealant with a scraping board and other tools, and peeled off the plastic tape after the construction was completed.

3, silicone sealant with a glue gun is easy to play it from the glue bottle, there is no silicone gun, you can consider cutting the bottle with a blade, and then using a spatula or wood chips to coat.

4, the curing process of silicone sealant is developed from the surface to the inside, different characteristics of silicone surface drying time and curing time are not the same, so if you want to repair the surface must be carried out before silicone sealant dry. Before curing, silicone sealant can be wiped off with strips of cloth or paper towels. After curing, it must be scraped off with a scraper or scrubbed with solvents such as xylene and acetone.

5, silicone sealant in the curing process will release irritating gas, irritating effect on human eyes and respiratory tract. Therefore, this product should be used in a well-ventilated environment, avoid entering the eyes or prolonged contact with the skin (after use, wash your hands before eating and smoking). Keep out of reach of children; The construction site should be well ventilated; In case of eye splash, rinse with water and seek medical attention immediately. Fully cured silicone sealant poses no risk.
