Best Practices for Dow 799 Silicone Glass and Metal Building Sealant

*See Terms of Use Below
1. Surface Preparation
  
  Clean all joints and glazing pockets, removing all foreign matter and contaminants such as grease, oil, dust, water, frost, surface dirt, old sealants or glazing compounds, and protective coatings. Metal, glass and plastic surfaces should be cleaned by mechanical or solvent procedures. Detergent or soap and water treatment are not acceptable. In all cases where used, solvents should be wiped on and off with clean, oil- and lint-free cloths.
2. Application
  
  Install back-up material or joint filler, setting blocks, spacer shims and tapes as specified. Apply Dow Corning 799 Silicone Glass and Metal Building Sealant in a continuous operation using a positive pressure adequate to properly fill and seal the joint. Tool or strike Dow Corning 799 Silicone Glass and Metal Building Sealant with light pressure to spread the material against the back-up material and the joint surfaces. A tool with a concave profile is recommended to keep the sealant within the joint. When glazing, tool the sealant applied at the sill so that precipitation and cleaning solutions will not pool. Dow Corning 799 Silicone Glass and Metal Building Sealant can be applied at outdoor temperatures as low as -37°C (-35°F) provided that surfaces are clean, dry and frost-free. Excess sealant should be cleaned from glass, metal and plastic surfaces while still uncured using a commercial solvent such as xylol, toluol or methyl ethyl ketone.1 Should the sealant accidentally contact adjacent porous surfaces, the excess sealant should be allowed to progress through the initial cure or set-up. It should then be removed by abrasion or other mechanical means.
