- For Best Application Results
Application temperature range is between 20°F and 120°F. Joint width should not exceed 1⁄2”. If joint depth exceeds 1⁄2”, use foam backer rod. Not recommended for continuous underwater use, high temperature surfaces or for surface defects. Store below 80°F in dry place for optimal shelf life.
- Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean, dry, structurally sound and free of old caulk, dirt, dust & other foreign material. Priming not required for most materials. Depending on the joint surface, for best results it may require a thorough wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, solvent washing and/or primer. A roughened surface will also enhance bond. Taping sides of joint is recommended in any size where an extremely accurate match to the edge is desired.
- Product Application
Cut nozzle tip at a 45° angle to desired bead size. Puncture inner foil seal. Load cartridge into caulk gun. Fill gap or crack with sealant. If necessary, tool or smooth the bead of sealant before it skins over. Allow sealant to cure for at least 30 minutes before exposing to water. Sealant surface may still be tacky. Sealant reaches full cure in 24 hours. Clean up excess uncured sealant from surface and tools with Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner. Scrape or cut away excess cured sealant. Do not use Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner to clean hands or skin. Wash hands or skin with soap and water. Paintable in 30 minutes. 30-minute performance achievable with 3/8” maximum diameter bead, temperature at 73°F minimum and 50% relative humidity. Reseal cartridge for storage and reuse.
