Maintenance Tips
-
Prep surfaces well: Clean, dry, and remove soap scum, grease, or old caulk for strong adhesion.
-
Use in low-moisture conditions: Apply when surfaces are dry and avoid water exposure during curing.

Paint after cure: Wait until fully cured before painting for best finish and durability.
-
Check high-moisture areas regularly: Inspect around sinks, tubs, and backsplashes for cracks or gaps.
-
Clean gently: Wipe with mild cleaners—avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade seal.

Reapply as needed: Replace any moldy, peeling, or shrinking sections to maintain waterproof protection.
