Construction Adhesives

Application Guidelines

Application Temperature:

Above 0°F (-18°C)

Preparation:

1. Remove nozzle and cut tip of nub.
2. Puncture foil seal and screw nozzle back onto cartridge.
3. Cut tip on slant for 1/4’’ to 3/8’’ bead and place in cartridge gun.

Application - For Adhering:

1. Surfaces must be clean and free of any material that may prevent adequate adhesion.
2. Apply the adhesive to the PVC board to be installed in either a continuous or spot bead.
3. Adhere materials within 10-20 minutes based on environmental conditions.
4. Press surfaces firmly together with a slight twisting motion.
Note: For longer runs of PVC trim and beadboard, adhering PVC to sub fascia is recommended to assist in expansion and contraction of the PVC.

Application - For Sealing:

1. Surfaces must be clean and free of any material that may prevent adequate adhesion.
2. Force sealant into clean joint. Always apply sealant in bead form.
3. To ensure neat sealant lines, mask areas adjacent to joints. Once sealant is dry to the touch and does not transfer, remove masking tape.
Note: Ensure that initial joint width can accommodate expected substrate movement (±50% movement capability).

Cleanup:

Tools and adhesive may be cleaned with acetone or isopropyl alcohol when uncured. Follow solvent vendor’s precautions. Once cured, adhesive must be scraped from surface.

Painting:

Sealant is intended for exterior use. If used indoors, sealant may need to be painted. In most cases, painting may occur one hour after application with a high-quality acrylic, water-based (latex) paint that does not contain plasticizer. For other paint types, a compatibility test is recommended.

Coverage:

Container	1/8” Bead	1/4" Bead	3/8" Bead	1/2" Bead
10.1 oz. Cartridge	123 ft.	31 ft.	14 ft.	8 ft.

Limitations:

Air, adhesive and surface temperature should be above 0°F. Not recommended for continuous submersion or use below the waterline. When using on non-porous substrates, mist with water to speed curing.
