Before applying the sealant, ensure that all surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound, and free from grease, dust, or any other contaminants that could affect adhesion.
- For non-porous surfaces (such as glass, aluminum, or PVC), clean them using DOWSIL™ R-40 Universal Cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a clean, lint-free cloth and wipe the surface thoroughly. After cleaning, make sure the surface is completely dry.
- For porous surfaces (such as concrete, brickwork, or mortar), mechanically clean the surface to remove any loose particles or debris. Use tools like a steel brush, sanding disc, or similar methods to ensure a smooth, clean surface.
- After cleaning, check that the surfaces are completely dry and free of any contaminants to ensure proper adhesion of the sealant.
We recommend using the Geocel ecoSEAL Cartridge with the Dowsil 791 External Weatherproofing Silicone Sealant Sausage.
- Begin by installing any necessary backing materials, joint fillers, setting blocks, spacer shims, or tapes to prepare the joint. These materials help ensure proper sealant application and provide back pressure to prevent three-sided adhesion.
- Mask the areas adjacent to the joint to ensure neat, straight sealant lines and to protect surrounding surfaces from excess sealant.
- Primer is generally not required for non-porous surfaces. However, for certain porous surfaces, a primer may be necessary to achieve optimal adhesion. Conduct a test placement on a small area to confirm compatibility.
- Apply DOWSIL™ 791 Silicone Weatherproofing Sealant in a continuous bead using positive pressure. The sealant can be applied with a variety of air-operated guns or bulk dispensing equipment such as the Geocel Cox Skeleton Gun.
- Before a skin forms (typically within 15 minutes), use light pressure to tool the sealant for best results we recommend using Bedec Silicone Profilers. Spread it evenly against the backing material and the joint surfaces to ensure a strong bond.
- As soon as the sealant has been tooled, immediately remove the masking tape for a clean, neat finish.
Always follow manufacturers instructions found on the cartridge.
Q. How does DOWSIL™ 791 cure?
A. The sealant cures by reacting with moisture in the air, transforming into a flexible and durable silicone rubber seal. The curing process occurs at ambient temperatures.
Q. Can DOWSIL™ 791 be used on all types of surfaces?
A. Yes, DOWSIL™ 791 is designed to bond well with a wide range of materials, including glass, metal, ceramics, PVC, and painted surfaces. It is ideal for weatherproofing joints around windows, doors, and other exterior applications.
