X-Seal
SEAL ANYTHING, ANYWHERE

Of course, you can seal windows with Tec7, but X-Seal was specially developed for finishing joints. X-Seal is more flexible than conventional MS polymers, so that less force is required to apply it. This allows you greater precision. X-Seal paints over very well and is UV-resistant.
Step 1: Preparation
Important for a permanent optimal adhesion:
Remove loose particles and dust with a brush or hoover.
Clean the substrate using Tec7 Cleaner and/or Multiclean: apply, leave for a while, rub off with a clean, lint-free cloth and remove residues with a second clean cloth.
Important for a perfect result:
Cut the nozzle at an angle of 45°. The opening must be slightly smaller than the intended joint.
Use a Tec Gun, with the black plastic lip at the back facing upwards: when the trigger is released, the piston goes back a little so that there is no more pressure on the cartridge, and the sealant does not run.
Step 2: Sealing
Hold the pistol at an angle of 45°. So the sealant can always touch both edges.
Squirt out a narrow, filling joint. Wider joints are more difficult to finish off.
Step 3: Finishing
For the finishing, the surface determines the product to be used:
Use Tec7 Cleaner on non-porous surfaces such as PVC, metal, hardwood and lacquer.
Use HP Clean on porous surfaces such as natural stone, concrete or brick.
In case of doubt or combined surfaces, use HP Clean.
Moisten the joint spatula with the chosen cleaner and smooth the joint off.
Remove excess sealant from the joint spatula with Powerwipes. Re-moisten your joint spatula with the selected cleaner.
If you use a tape, use the thinnest possible.
Then wipe off with your joint spatula so that there is no more sealant on the tape to avoid an upright edge.
Remove any spilled sealant with the cleaner you have already used.
Wait for around 2 hours before painting over the joint.
