The following procedures should be followed for optimum sealant performance.

SURFACE PREPARATION

1. Clean the upper and lower joint surface with a stiff bristle brush.
2. Remove any dirt, debris, flashing, or concrete high points, which could keep the joint from coming together.
3. ConSeal recommends the use of surface primers, as primers improve adhesion. When using a primer, allow the primer to dry before placing sealant.
4. ConSeal primers are specifically designed for use with ConSeal products. Contact ConSeal for the best primer for the projects specific application.

APPLICATION METHOD

1. Place sealant on the tip of the spigot in the correct location (see image above).
2. Join the sealant into one continuous strand by kneading the ends together where they meet.
    IMPORTANT: DO NOT STRETCH THE SEALANT. DO NOT OVERLAP THE SEALANT.
3. Once the sealant is installed DO NOT: Step on the sealant or allow dirt or debris to fall on the sealant (Note: Plastic sheeting may be installed over the sealant if necessary.)
4. A minimum compression of 50% is required. Greater than 50% compression is optimal. It may take 15-20 minutes for the sealant to fully compress. This will vary according to the ambient temperature and the weight being applied.
