Surfaces to be bonded should be cleaned of all dust, oils, and other contaminants.  A solvent wipe is often adequate.  Bond to rigid surfaces are typically improved by a solvent wipe followed by light abrasion (180 grit) and another solvent wipe to remove abrasive residue.  Dry surfaces thoroughly before applying sealant.
Easy to use.  Simply apply a bead of adhesive/sealant to surface at temperatures above 40°F.  The applied bead will shrink approximately 55% so no tooling is necessary for most applications.  Bead surface will be tack free in 15-45 minutes, depending on ambient conditions.
