Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Surface Preparation
Ensure that the surface to be sealed is clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or other contaminants. Use a suitable cleaner to remove any existing residue.

Step 2: Application

  1. Shake the Gorilla Sealant tube well before use.
  2. Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead size.
  3. Insert the tube into a caulking gun (if applicable) and squeeze the trigger until the sealant starts to flow.
  4. Apply a continuous bead of Gorilla Sealant along the desired area, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Smooth the sealant bead using a caulk finishing tool or a wet finger within 5 minutes of application.

Step 3: Curing
Gorilla Sealant requires 24 hours to fully cure. Avoid disturbing or exposing the sealed area to water or moisture during this time.

Step 4: Clean-up
Wipe off any excess or uncured sealant with a dry cloth or paper towel. Use a suitable solvent for clean-up if necessary.

Instructions for use

PREPARATION:
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of old sealant. For gaps larger than 12 mm, use a backer rod to fill the gap. Best results achieved if applied above 5°C.

LOAD:
Cut off the tip of the cartridge above the screw thread. Screw on nozzle and cut at 45° angle to desired bead size. Insert into cartridge gun.

APPLY:
Apply sealant, pushing bead ahead of nozzle. Smooth bead immediately after application, before a skin forms. Gorilla Sealant should be applied between 4°C to 38°C. Once cured, Gorilla Sealant can withstand temperatures between -40°C to 176°C.

NOTE:
Gorilla Sealant will work well on many types of plastic; however, we do not recommend for use on polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) plastics or any type of rubber with high oil or plasticizer content. Gorilla Sealant may be used on PVC pipes, but not in high-pressure applications.
