How to use this product
-Clear surfaces with Selleys BBQ Tough Wipes or Oven Wipes and allow to dry.
-Pierce tube seal, fit nozzle and cut to size.
-For repair or replacement of oven door seal or oven door glass:
Apply Seal Fix to repair or replace seal or glass.
-Once the seal or oven glass is fixed in place the repair should be allowed to cure for 7 days before using the oven.
-For repair or replacement of refrigerator door seal:
Apply Seal Fix to door, bring surfaces together and close door.
-Once the seal is glued in place the door needs to be held firmly closed with tape.
-Due to the strong magnetic hold of the door seal to the refrigerator body, the repair must be allowed 24 hours to cure before opening the door or subjecting to any stress
For repair or replacement of gaskets:
-Remove old gasket/seal material and thoroughly clean surfaces with mineral turpentine and dry. If adhesion of gasket is not required wipe mating surfaces with an oily cloth.
-Pierce seal in the tube, fit nozzle and cut to size. Squeeze the bead of sealant onto one of the surfaces to be joined, around the perimeter of the part and around bolt holes.
-Join parts together within 10 minutes and bolt down to the desired torque. If a thicker gasket is required assemble but do not tighten bolts for 24 hours. Material cures in 24 hours. (When disassembly is required, pry two flanges apart and remove old sealant before reassembly.)
Clean Up
-Uncured product may be removed with mineral turpentine. Cured product can be removed with Selleys Silicone Remover or by mechanical action.
