TOP GUN^® FLEX Urethanized Elastomeric Sealant

Area Preparation

Where applicable, remove old sealant or caulking. Thoroughly dry the joints or surfaces, where the TOP GUN FLEX will be applied. Remove all dirt, dust, oil, mildew, loose paint or other contaminants. For maximum adhesion, dull glossy surfaces. Bare surface should be primed before caulking.

Application Details

Install backer-rod uniformly into deep cracks to control sealant depth. For cracks up to 1/2 inch wide, set the backer-rod from 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Bond breaker tape may be used for joints not deep enough for backer-rod. Use a non-gassing foam backer rod or bond breaker tape to avoid 3 point adhesion. Cut nozzle at a 45º angle. Fill joints and cracks by holding the nozzle in the opening and filling completely from the bottom up. Cured bead should be between 1/8” and 1/2”. Smooth immediately with a damp sponge or towel, or other tool as required. Remove excess material with a wet cloth. Dry excess sealant may be cut away.

Drying Time

Dry Time to Paint@ 70ºF / 50% relative humidity: Latex Paint: 30 minutes to 6 hours Oil Base Paint: 4 to 6 hours (Expect longer dry times at lower temperatures and higher relative humidity.)

Coverage

1/8” x 1/4” bead - 50 linear feet per tube 1/4” x 1/4” bead - 25 linear feet per tube.
