Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application. Glass, steel and aluminium should be cleaned with a proprietary solvent prior to application for optimum adhesion. Porous surfaces may require priming - a small area should be tested first.
