Repair Care DRY SEAL MP

Repair Care DRY SEAL MP is a UV and moisture resistant sealant for glazing and bedding-in timber and metal windows, and glazing beads. A multipurpose, durable alternative to linseed oil putty. Its permanent elastic properties means it curves very quickly and is ideal for double-glazing, such as slim-line units, laminated and acoustic glass. It can also be used to fill in nail and screw holes, and can be painted and stained after 2 hours.

Ensure that areas to be filled are clean, dry and free from surface dust, loose dirt or other contaminants.

Wood

• Any loose putty must be removed and the area lightly sanded and cleaned before application
• Check the moisture content of the timber, using a Repair Care EASY.Q Wood Condition Meter
• Repair any damaged or rotten timber using the Easy Care, repair range
• Ensure no burnt timber or raised wood fibres, where paint has been removed
• Thoroughly sand back to bare wood, cleaning away all sanding dust
• Prime the surface with a suitable wood primer

Metal

• Any loose putty must be removed and the area
• Ensure surface is free from rust, dirt, moisture, grease and any residual putty, mastic or sealant
• Prime the surface using a suitable metal primer

Always do a small test area before starting any project to assess adhesion and end result. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the container at all times.

Optimum application is achieved between 5°C and 40°C with good air movement and ventilation.
