sealant Operating in a wooden house

Wood - reliable material, but for them it is necessary to closely monitor and take care of.The need to plug the cracks, crevices and seams can occur due to various reasons.It does not really matter, because the main task - to remove defects and restore the tree its original aesthetic appearance.However, the deterioration of the external characteristics - not the only problem that occurs when you ignore the problem.You may receive the mold, the room will lose heat.It is in order to avoid this, you must use a sealer for wood.

Furthermore, acrylic sealant that is able to protect the wood from micro-lesions and to restore biological insulation, it may also brighten the surface irregularities.Most of the proposed product can not only stable sealing cracks and joints (which are not amenable to load stretch), but also unstable.Unstable joint - a place the docking between the logs, masonry and window and building elements.It can also be used for sealing facades, windows, door frames.

Instructions for use

List of tools for work:

• acrylic sealant.
• Scotch paint.
• water.
• spatula.
• sealant gun.

1. First we need to measure the weld size.Minimum cross-section - 3x5 mm.
2. masking tape is necessary to protect the faces of the edge, it must be done on both sides and carefully.If necessary, it is better to smooth out.Allow the void between the tape and can not Boer.
3. To avoid problems with the need to re-priming is necessary to observe the correct proportions of the mixture of water and a sealant, often 1: 1, but may be 1: 2.You can also use a special primer for this purpose, but it should be done very carefully, because after drying the film is not removed.Therefore, it should not be allowed contact with the surface, which is not intended to seal.After the application is necessary to give it to dry.
4. If the depth is greater than the seam position (which is common), it is necessary to make the lining of the additional profile.This can be a hollow tube made of polystyrene or ordinary cord.The profile should be 25% compressed, you can not use the open items.
5. Carefully open the sealant.To do this, cut off part of his tip.Then you need to insert a balloon into the gun sealant.



6. tip from the gun nozzle is cut at an angle that is most comfortable to work with.There is no recommendation.Carefully insert the nozzle in the gun.Most of these tips is very thin, which simplifies the process.
7. Sealant for wood must be carefully applied to the surface.Bubbles, leaky seam and void are inadmissible.
8. Gradually, when applying sealant to make sure that it is firmly and securely in contact with the seam.The use of smoothed funds can cause wet divorce, they need to clean up immediately, or later, when they dry up, it will be problematic.Modern detergents are corrosive chemical composition, so it is better to abandon them.Also, smoothing agent should not fall into those seam locations that have not yet been processed.



9. Moisten a spatula in the water and give them a form in accordance with the seam and remove excess sealant.If there is no spatula, for this purpose, you can use a teaspoon or tablespoon, also soaked in water.
10. last stage - to remove the masking tape from the surface.Sealant freezes for about 10 minutes.

Remove sealant from tools is not difficult.Do it better in soapy water immediately after work.If the moment is missed - it mechanically.
