How To

Sealants

Seal the

deal

by Scott Wilson

Flexible sealants have such a

multitude of uses, we wonder how

we ever did without it! Easy to apply,

readily available and an unparalleled

range of applications, it’s one of those

products everyone should have in their

shed or workshop, because it comes in

handy on just about every DIY task,

particularly in the bathroom.

However, before you race in to your nearest Mitre

10 and stock up on a few tubes, it pays to know

what sealants are available and what they can be

used for.

Different sealants offer different advantages, so

before choosing a sealant gain a clear picture of

what it’s going to be used for.

How To

Acrylic sealants

These are mostly used for illing gaps, such along the top

of skirting boards, around windows or doors and after

putting up new wall linings. Some cracks can require a

lexible sealant for movement, such as near a door that

may slam or because of expansion and contraction with

variations in temperature.

Acrylic sealants, like the Selleys No More Gaps range,

are paintable, which means that the paint can be touched

up after the sealant has been applied. This avoids the

need to ind a sealant that is perfectly colour matched

to the job. Painting can be done after a couple of hours,

once the sealant forms a irm skin, although full curing

can take up to two days, depending on ambient weather

conditions, temperature and the product.

Most acrylic sealants will clean up in water, which makes

it easy to wipe off any excess. This feature also helps

when cleaning tools and hands afterwards.
