Common Mistakes in Using a Polyurethane Sealant:
NOT CHOOSING THE RIGHT SEALANT
Before you choose a polyurethane sealant for your project, you need to make sure it is the one you need for the materials you are working with. It should withstand extreme weather conditions like too much heat and heavy rain.
NOT CLEANING THE SURFACE
Oil, grease, grime, and other residues would make it difficult to form a strong and good bond so you have to clean the surface before proceeding with your work
What You Need To Consider:
PROPER STORAGE
Keeping them in the refrigerator will help extend their effectiveness. You should also refrain from opening it until you are ready to use it.
PROPER SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean the surface first before applying the sealant to ensure proper adhesion. The surface must be free of foreign matters like grease, oil, dust, and dirt. Remember, sealing requires the right skills, the right sealant, and the proper surface preparation in order to work well.
WAY TO REMOVE SEALANT
There are no substances available in the market that can easily remove a misapplied sealant. Experts, however, say - that you can remove it using a cheese wire or sharp knife, or by abrading it with a sander. Just be careful when using these.
