How to prepare CT1 for use!

To prepare your CT1 for application, you need to;

• Remove the nozzle at the top of the cartridge and cut the cap off (at the top of the thread section) using a sharp utility knife.
• Cut the nozzle correct size using a sharp utility knife. This will determine the size of your bead. Make sure to do it at a 45-degree angle.

How to apply CT1 sealant and adhesive!

With the CT1 cartridge open and the nozzle cut to suit the bead of sealant needed applying CT1 sealant and adhesive is very straightforward.

Simply;

• Load the prepared cartridge into your caulking gun securely.
• Squeeze down on the trigger to start applying CT1.
• Apply CT1 sealant evenly in a straight line, using consistent pressure to the trigger as you drag the nozzle along your desired application area.

Once you’ve applied your bead of CT1 along your desired area, use C-TEC Multisolve to lightly coat the sealant and lubricate its surface to assist tooling without impacting the adhesive bond press on the materials.
