You don’t have to be a pro to be able to apply a silicone sealant on windows, doors or other leaking equipment. Follow these 4 quick
steps on how to use silicone
sealant effectively:
1. Clean the area
Clean the area first before applying the
silicone sealant. In case there are traces of the old sealant, remove this by
using a knife or a screwdriver. Be careful not to cut or scratch your window,
door, etc. Also, be careful not to hurt yourself. Use a cloth to wipe the
entire area where the silicone sealant is to be applied.
2. Prepare the materials
Make sure that you have all the materials that
you need to apply the silicone sealant before you start the application process.
Prepare the sealant, the sealant gun (if needed), water and the soap to save on
time and hassle.
3. Apply the silicone sealant
Put thin linings of the silicone sealant on
the areas that leak. Make sure that you completely fill the gap so that it will
totally stop water or other liquid from leaking. Make the application process
as neat as possible to ensure that the sealant will be unnoticeable.
4. Polish the area
The last step is to polish your work. Dip
your finger into the water and slightly rub it into the soap. Smooth the
silicone sealant that you have just applied. Tighten the sealant on the gap to
make the effect of the sealant long lasting. Dip again into the water and soap
if you noticed a build-up of silicone on your finger. Continue until the entire
area is totally smooth.
Silicone sealant is very easy to use and is non-hazardous. Follow
these quick steps to stop the leaks in your house. The application process usually
only takes an hour or less.
