Description

One cartridge handles the sealing and bonding that comes with a door project. This one part hybrid adhesive sealant bonds to wood, PVC, aluminum, glass, concrete, marble, and painted surfaces. It cures into a flexible rubber that moves with your door frame through every season, it will not shrink or crack, and it takes paint when you want the bead to disappear into the trim.

Where it works on a door install

  • Seal brickmould and exterior trim to siding
  • Bed thresholds and sills before fastening
  • Seal the jamb to siding joint around the exterior perimeter
  • Fill nail holes and trim gaps before paint
  • Seal storm door frames and door glass frames
  • Handle kitchen, bath, and general exterior sealing after the door is done

Why this formula

  • Bonds to wood, PVC, aluminum, glass, concrete, marble, and painted surfaces
  • Flexes with joint movement of ±25% (ASTM C-719)
  • Will not shrink or crack because it contains no solvents
  • Takes paint, so the bead can match any trim color
  • Stays white over time, non-yellowing and UV resistant (ASTM G26)
  • Resists mildew in damp locations
  • Performs from -75°F to 220°F once cured
  • Keeps odor low with no solvents or isocyanates and 18 g/L VOC

Working time and cure

The caulking skins over in about 20 minutes at 77°F and 50 percent humidity, so tool the bead soon after you run it. It reaches tack free in about 40 minutes and cures at about 1/8 inch of depth per 24 hours. Once cured it stays flexible from -75°F to 220°F and handles brief exposure up to 250°F.
