Advantages and Disadvantages

A major advantage is the permanent elasticity and clear finish which ensures a durable and nearly invisible seal that will not crack or shrink over time. Its versatility allows it to be used across multiple surfaces and environments. A minor drawback is that silicone based sealants cannot be painted over so you must ensure the clear finish is desired before application. Users must also apply it to a completely dry surface as moisture during application can hinder the bonding process.

Cautions

Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and skin as the uncured sealant can cause irritation. In case of eye contact rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Ensure the area is well ventilated during application and curing. Do not use on porous surfaces like natural stone or on sensitive metals like copper and lead as staining or corrosion may occur.
