How to Apply Dr. Fixit Feviseal GP Pro (Step-by-Step)

1. Surface Preparation: The joint must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, or old sealant. Use a suitable solvent (like acetone) for cleaning non-porous surfaces.
2. Masking: Apply masking tape along the edges of the joint to ensure a clean, neat finish.
3. Application: Cut the nozzle tip to the desired bead size. Insert the cartridge into the gun. Apply the sealant in a continuous, smooth bead, ensuring full contact with the joint sides.
4. Tooling: Immediately after application, tool the surface of the sealant with a spatula or gloved finger to ensure good adhesion and a concave finish.
5. Removal: Remove the masking tape immediately after tooling and before the sealant starts to cure (skinning). Ensure proper joint design for maximum longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I paint over Dr. Fixit Feviseal GP Pro?
A: No, standard silicone sealants are generally not paintable. The paint will not adhere to the silicone surface and will peel off.

Q: Does it smell strongly?
A: Yes, being an acetoxy-cure silicone, it releases acetic acid (vinegar smell) during the curing process. This smell dissipates once the sealant has fully cured.

Q: How long does it take to cure?
A: It forms a tack-free skin in about 10-20 minutes, but it cures fully at a rate of about 2-3 mm depth per 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
