The surface must be clean, free from dust, grease, oil and water.

Application

Apply the sealant into the joint avoiding air entrapments or apply a continous bead on the sealing area before joining the substrate. Apply enough product so that it squeezes out slightly, allowing it to be properly tooled afterward.

Do not apply at temperatures below 5 °C or above 35 °C.

SikaLastomer®-714 can be processed by suitable manual or pneumatic dispenser.

Tooling and finishing
