About this deal
Excessive moisture and rapid changes in humidity during the curing process can compromise the strength and flexibility of the sealant. The waterproof and flexible sealant is mould resistant with very little odour and will be touch-dry in 20 minutes. Because silicone is slightly rubbery once cured, it also provides cushioning between surfaces that are likely to move. It's a little more fuss when cleaning but it saves the huge fuss and inconvenience of having to keep stripping off the old stuff and re-sealing.
So if you’re using your silicone sealant outside, choose a dry day, even if it’s suitable for outdoor use. The sealant only comes in white, though and while it is paintable, we’d like to see it in a wider range of colours – or at least a clear version.As a rule of thumb, i always advise to leave the area for at least 24 hours , depending on the size of the silicone bead.
You can choose between a squeezable tube for application by hand, or rigid tubes, which need to be used with a sealant gun. The flexible nature of silicone means results are long-lasting when applied correctly, so you won’t have to touch things up every five minutes. Improving ventilation in the room and careful preparation of the surfaces helps reduce mould growth.What’s more, as it’s a combined sealant and adhesive, it has even more uses and eliminates the need for multiple products. Getting something totally free is likely to get a true MoneySaver's heart pumping faster than any cardio workout ever could. A thicker silicone bead of more than around 4mm in depth will always take a little longer to fully cure.
