It is ideal for use on: wood, concrete, brick, natural stone, preformed panels, artificial stone and most common building materials.

Instructions: Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free from dust, oil or any other contaminants that may hinder adhesion. If necessary, in addition to mechanical means, cleaning with a solvent such as acetone is recommended for degreasing.
Priming: FRAME-MATE does not require a primer on most common construction surfaces. However, in some cases it may be necessary to prime concrete or other surfaces for optimum adhesion. To determine whether a primer is required a sample should be tested. Contact Bond It Technical Service Department for recommendations.
Application: Apply using a standard sealant gun with the nozzle cut at an angle of 45°, and to an opening slightly larger than the joint to be sealed. Tool down within 10 minutes of application using a stick, plastic spatula or Sealant Applicator Tool. Do not apply to wet surfaces, although wetting immediately afterwards will not have any adverse effects. Can be overpainted with waterbased paints as soon as skin forms, approximately 1 hour. Must be completely dry for oil based paints approximately 24-48 hours. Remove excess product with a damp cloth.
Cleaning: Tools can be cleaned after use using soapy water before product cures. Note: Protect from water for at least 6 hours after application or until a tough skin has developed. Do not subject to pressurised water. Do not use if rain is imminent.

Not suitable when: – applied externally during rainy weather; – applied at temperatures below +5°C; used in joints constantly immersed in water; – used in contact with bituminous products; – used in areas of high abrasion, e.g. floor joints; – for use with plastic baths: use a sealant with greater flexibility.
