Instructions

  • Apply to clean and dry or slightly damp substrates.
  • Strike off dry or wet with a spatula.

Paintable after 1 hour, depending on temperature and air humidity. Remove any masking tape before the skin forms to prevent damage.

Improve adhesion and reinforce weak substrates such as aerated concrete or plaster by coating with diluted AC38 (2 parts water to 1 part AC38).

Test the adhesion to plastics, powder coatings, exotic timbers, Belgian bluestone and bituminous materials.

A perfect joint will be as deep as it is wide (from maximum 5 to 10 mm).

 

The drying time depends on:

the temperature of the product

the ambient temperature

the temperature of the substrate

the coat thickness

the air humidity

the humidity of the substrate.

Not to be used as glazing putty or as an adhesive sealant. Not suitable for submerged joints or in locations with standing water.
