installations that havelarge annular spaces.
B. FB 136 Sealant should beapplied at temperaturesabove 40F (5C) and the
substrate must be frostfree.
C. Cut the end of the FB 136tube spout to achieve thedesired bead width whenapplying. Install the FB136 to the desired depth inthe void space until the
sealant is flush with theadjacent floor or wallsurface.
D. Tool within five (5) minutesof application with aslightly wetted putty knifeor trowel, if required.
E. Clean all tools with waterimmediately after use.
For Patching Firebricksand Sealing AroundWood Burning Stoves:
A. Clean annular space orjoint area to be filledwith FB 136 to removeall grease, dirt, oil, wax,loose debris, etc. Ifrequired, install a non-combustible backing
material to assist in FB136 Sealantinstallations that havelarge annular spaces.
B. FB 136 Sealant shouldbe applied attemperatures above40F (5C) and the
substrate must be frostfree.
C. Cut the end of the FB136 tube spout toachieve the desired
bead width whenapplying.
D. Install the FB 136 intoany void areas orcrevices.
E. Tool the FB 136 intovoids or crevices withinfive (5) minutes ofapplication until smoothwith a slightly wettedputty knife or trowel.
F. Clean the surroundingsurfaces with a damp toweland clean all tools withwater immediately afteruse.
G. Start a low burning fire untilthe product is dry,approximately 1 hour.Increase heat graduallyuntil the FB 136 has cured,approximately 2 hours. Forfirebrick patching, FB 136should be applied in 1/8 in.layers and allowed to cure24 hours between layersprior to fire curing. Firecuring is not necessary untilthe final layer has beeninstalled.
6. LimitationsA. FB 136 must not be used in
areas that are expected tocome into contact withwater or exteriorapplications. FORINTERIOR USE ONLY.
