Instructions for use
- All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease. Surfaces can be cleaned using methylated spirits applied to a tissue or cloth before applying Dow Corning Auto sealant.
- Remove nozzle, cut off end of plastic cartridge and screw on nozzle.
- Cut tip of the nozzle to required width to seal. To apply sealant, insert black plunger into base of cartridge and press.
- Press tip of the nozzle against joint and hold cartridge at a 45 degree angle.
- Push the cartridge while applying a steady, even pressure to the black plunger in the base. Ensure that a bead of sealant makes contact with both surfaces whilst still uncured
- Smooth any inconsistancies to the finished bead with a wet instrument such as a spoon or spatula. Smooth surfaces lightly ensuring sealant makes contact with both surfaces whilst still uncured
- Any excess or misapplied sealant should be removed whilst still uncured using a tissue or cloth soaked in methylated spirits. Cured silicone may be removed using a sharp blade or alternatively by applying Geocel Silicone Sealant remover to the affected area.
- After completing the application, ensure that the sealant is kept dry and undisturbed for at least 12 hours. The sealant will form a tough, water tight rubber seal that remains flexible.
- When using Dow Corning Auto Sealant as an instant gasket, follow instructions for use listed above.
- To enable components to be dismantled at a later date, apply a light coating of oil to both surfaces after cleaning has been completed.
- Dow Corning Auto should be applied to one surface only. The bead should be 1.5mm – 3mm thick.
- Ensure that the bead is spread evenly, conforming to surface shape. Torque down immediately.
- When the sealant has completely cured (12 hours) excess may be trimmed away with a sharp blade.
- The engine may be run as soon as the job as been completed – before the sealant is fully cured.
