Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Ensure that the surface is dry and clean. Remove any loose material and all contaminants such as grease, oil and dust prior to applying. The  joints must be clean, dry and be free from any excess adhesive or foreign material. It may be necessary to rake joints to ensure a maximum, uniform joint depth is achieved. Porous substrates must be primed with Sika® Primer 3N Adhesion to metals and some surface finishes can be further improved by light abrasion. Mask the sides of the joint to produce a neat finish. Use suitable sized foam backing rod or polyethylene bond breaker tape to prevent three sided joint contact.
