4. Application Instructions

General Application Steps:

1. Cut the tip of the cartridge above the screw thread.
2. Screw on the applicator nozzle and cut it to the desired bead size (typically 5-10mm).
3. Insert the cartridge into a standard sealant gun.
4. Apply the sealant evenly to one of the prepared surfaces. For bonding, apply in vertical beads. For sealing, apply a continuous bead.
5. Join the surfaces together within 10 minutes of application.
6. Tool the sealant bead within 5 minutes using a suitable tool or wet finger for a smooth finish.

Specific Application Notes:

• Wet Conditions: CT1 can be applied to wet surfaces, including underwater, making it suitable for marine or pool repairs.
• Painting: If painting is required, allow the sealant to fully cure before applying paint. Always test paint compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.
• Mirrors: CT1 is safe for use with mirrors and will not damage the silver backing.
• Stones: Suitable for most stones without staining.

5. Post-Application Care and Curing

CT1 begins to cure immediately upon application. The curing time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and bead thickness. A skin will typically form within 10-20 minutes. Full cure can take up to 24-48 hours for thinner applications, and longer for thicker beads or in colder, drier conditions.

• Avoid disturbing the applied sealant during the initial curing phase.
• Clean any excess uncured sealant immediately with a suitable cleaner. Cured sealant may need to be removed mechanically.
• For best results, allow adequate ventilation during curing.
