the sealant when the joint contracts.

iv. On curing this sealant can be overpainted with

most types of panits, but it must be remembered
that the paint will not exhibit the same degree of
flexibility as the sealant.

v. Avoid application of the sealant in excessive

temperature, as the expansion of the substrate
will reduce joint dimensions. Ideally apply the
sealanty either in the early morning or late
afternoon during the summer season.

vi. When mixing protect from dust, sand and other

contaminants. Cover the floor with plastic or
plywood to avoid contamination. This will also
save time when cleaning up.
