Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Clean all surfaces. Joint walls must be sound, clean, dry, frost-free, and free of oil and grease and any other contaminants. Install bond breaker tape or backer rod to prevent bond at base of joint.

  

Priming

Priming is not usually necessary. Most substrates only require priming if testing indicates a need. Consult Sikaflex® Primer Product Data Sheet or Technical Service for additional information on priming.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Uncured material can be removed with approved solvent. Cured material can only be removed mechanically. For spillage, collect, absorb, and dispose of in accordance with current, applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
