Trade Professional Information

Required Tools: Caulking gun, putty knife, smoothing tools, safety glasses, gloves.
Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle for a precise bead. Smooth the filler with a wet finger or tool for a professional finish. For larger gaps, use backer rod to support the filler and prevent excessive shrinkage.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Issue: Shrinkage. Solution: Use a high-quality filler with low shrinkage properties. Apply in thin layers if filling large gaps.
- Issue: Cracking. Solution: Ensure the filler is compatible with the substrate and that the joint allows for movement. Use a flexible filler for dynamic joints.
- Issue: Poor adhesion. Solution: Clean the surface thoroughly and prime if necessary. Ensure the filler is applied to a sound surface.
