In what weather conditions can I apply sealant?

Before sealing, it is advisable to check the weather forecast for at least the next few days. The temperature should be at least +5 °C for applying sealants.

Various factors affect the drying and work with sealants, but the most significant are: ambient temperature, air humidity, wind, and the absorbency of the surface.

The applied sealant should be protected from direct rain for several hours. It must not be exposed to temperatures below 0 °C for at least 7 days after application. The final plastic properties of the sealant throughout its mass are achieved after 1 month. The sealant should be protected from strong sunlight for several hours after application. This could cause rapid evaporation of water in the thinner layers of the applied sealant, leading to small cracks or bubbles. This is especially common in the autumn when there are significant weather changes. Early low temperatures in the morning and high temperatures in the afternoon, with the sun shining directly into the wall. In the event that cracks do form (the risk is mainly with gaps wider than 30 mm), they should be punctured the next day and repaired while the sealant has not fully dried.
