What if I don't clean up excess sealant immediately?
If not addressed promptly, the strong adhesive properties require specific clean-up solvents. Ensure you have mineral spirits on hand for immediate removal of uncured material.
Can I use this on wooden deck seams?
No, this sealant is explicitly not recommended for wooden deck seams due to its strong bonding characteristics and potential for damaging the wood.
