Application Instructions
Joint Preparation
The surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and free from all contamination. The surfaces should be degreased using the appropriate ARBO® Cleaner.
Joint Backing
Where applicable, appropriate joint filler e.g. closed cell polyethylene foam, should be used to provide the correct joint depth.
All joint preparation, priming, and sealant application should be conducted in accordance with BS 8000-16: 1997 + A1: 2010, the British Standard for the sealing of joints in buildings using sealants.
Application
Arbomast GP is supplied in polyethylene 380ml cartridges and is applied using an ARBO Caulking Gun.
