FAQs for Sealants
| Anti-Germ Sealant | Q | Can I allow food to be prepared where Evo-Stik Anti Germ Sealant has be used? |
| A | Yes | |
| Anti-Germ Sealant | Q | I find the odour of silicone sanitary sealants particularly offensive, do you have a more friendly one? |
| A | If you need a silicone sealant may we suggest that you use Evo-Stik Anti-Germ. | |
| Anti-Germ Sealant | Q | Can I clean Evo-Stik Anti Germ Sealant with bleach? |
| A | Yes, you can providing that the product is diluted as recommended on their container. After application you should wipe down the sealant with clean water. | |
| Anti-Germ Sealant | Q | I find the odour of silicone sanitary sealants very offensive, do you have a more user friendly one? |
| A | Use Evo-Stik Anti-Germ. This is a neutral cure silicone sealant, so does not have the strong "vinegary" smell. | |
| All Purpose Flexible Silicone Sealant | Q | I need a low modulus silicone sealant for use around window frames, will the All Purpose Silicone Sealant be suitable? |
| A | No. That sealant is a high modulus type. Use Evo-Stik Silicone Frame Sealant which is both low modulus and a neutral cure system. | |
| All Purpose Flexible Silicone Sealant | Q | The sealant in my bathroom has some black spots forming which I think are mould. Why is this happening as the sealant has a fungicide in it, and how can I stop it happening in the future? |
| A | Fungicides only work if they are in contact with the fungus. This can be prevented if the sealant is covered with soap or grease. A good technique for removal and prevention of these stains is to wipe the sealant with dilute liquid bleach every few weeks. | |
| Decorators Flexible Filler | Q | Can I use Decorators Flexible Filler out-of-doors? |
| A | Yes, you can providing that the product is allowed to dry in warm dry conditions until it is set. This could take a day or two depending upon the conditions and the depth of the filler. | |
| Decorators Flexible Filler | Q | How soon can I paint Decorator's Flexible Filler? |
| A | As soon as it is dry through. For thin layers, say less than 1mm, this could be as little as 30 minutes in good drying conditions. For large fillets it could take a day for 5mm thick or many days if thicker. Since this product shrinks as it dries the surface stretches and this could crack a paint film if it were applied too soon. | |
| Frame Silicone | Q | Can I paint Evo-Stik Silicone Frame Sealant? |
| A | No. Paint has almost no adhesion to a silicone sealant. If you need to paint a sealant, you should consider our One Part Polysulphide. | |
| Frame Silicone | Q | Can I use your C20 (310ml) cartridge of Evo-Stik Silicone Frame Sealant in C30 guns? |
| A | In the case of hand-guns yes you can. In the unlikely event you are using a air operated gun then you must use the C20 air-gun with a C20 cartridge, since in a longer cartridge air leakage will stop it working. |
