Surfaces to be sealed must be dry and free of all dirt, dust, oil, mildew, loose paint, old caulk or other contaminates. Only apply when sealant, surface and air temperatures are above 40° F and rising. Do not apply on surfaces that exceed 160°F, or when rain is expected.
Tower® Residential Sealant comes ready to use. U-shaped joints should have the proper size backer rod or bond breaker tape installed to prevent 3 point adhesion. The sealant must reach deepest point of the joint. Remove excess with a clean rag and water. Tooling the joint flush with a putty knife is recommended. Tooling results in the correct bead shape, a neat joint, and maximum adhesion. 90° joints can be tooled smooth with a moistened rag to a minimum bead size of 3/8”. In properly configured joints, can be used to seal 2” wide joints.
Immediately after use, clean equipment with soap and water. Remove cured sealant by cutting with a sharpedged tool. Remove thin films by abrading.
