User questions & answers

Question:	Does it contain teflon
Answer:	The product is great and very stable. It is possible to “under mount“ this product. Sink will have to be mounted to a “subframe support” conforming to the entire perimeter of the bowl. The sink can be attached to a 3/4 - 1” frame using the supplied mounting clips. Anything thicker will be questionable. Allow for 1/8” (sink-lip) space between the subframe and the bottom surface of your counter material. An ample application of silicone sealant (Clear) between sink and the counter top will do the job.
Question:	Can this be used on painted deck
Answer:	Approximately 7 1/2” on my sink.
Question:	Can it be brushed on
Answer:	The roll up dish rack is included in the package. If not included, pls email to us through [email protected] with your order ID, we will make this correct.
Question:	May wood surface be painted with finish after being treated with this sealant
Answer:	For proper fit, we recommend taking the exterior dimension of the sink(left to right) and adding at least 3" for access to install hardware. Actually, can be smaller a little than we suggest.

Stain + Sealant in One

Stain + Sealant in One protects and beautifies in one step.

Weather-Ready Application

Allows greater opportunities for staining when it may rain or when the weather may be too hot or cold.

Enhanced waterproofing protection

Helps make sure your wood is protected from cracking due to water.

Advanced SunBlock UV

Helps protects your wood from dangerous UV rays that can wear down the coating.

How much stain do you need to buy?

One gallon of wood stain covers approximately 250-350 square feed, which is enough for a small to medium deck. It should also cover both sides of a 25 foot long fence or a couple pieces of furniture.

Two Gallons

Two gallons of wood stain cover approximately 600 square feed, which should be more than enough for the standard deck project or a 50 foot long fence.

Three or more Gallons

Three or more gallons of wood stain will most likely only be needed on large projects, as they should cover over 850 square feed.

Note: Solid Color Stain requires two coats. You should effectively double your gallons purchased when using a solid.

How To Stain Your Wood Deck In 3 Easy Steps

Sweep debris from deck and then use a product such as Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to penetrate the wood and lift dirt to the surface to be cleaned, as well as clean stains caused by mildew, dirt, algae and mold. Allow surface to dry.

STEP 2

Tape off any surfaces you don’t want stained. Also, avoid staining in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces because the stain will dry too fast to penetrate properly.

STEP 3

For clear, toner and semi-transparent stains, apply a thin coat with a high-quality brush, roller, paint pad, or spray. For solid stains, apply two thin coats with a brush, roller, or paint pad. To avoid lap marks, apply to a few boards at a time, keeping a wet edge.

For best results, backbrush into the surface to work finish into the wood and ensure the coating is even. Make sure to treat all areas of the wood, including joints, edges and ends.

You’re going to want to follow the directions on your stain container to determine if anything needs done after your final application.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use it to glue down 3/8 x 2" teak planks on fiberglass deck on a boat
Answer:	Its not a glue... it functions as a gasket between planks to weather seal the deck.
Question:	is the product self leveling and how long to dry
Answer:	Yes, self leveling. I don't know how long the inside of the strip took to dry, but the top was dry a after few hours. That's why you want to pour a little sand over it right after you are finished, so the sand sticks to the sealant.
Question:	Does this come in white
Answer:	Yes it does
Question:	How many feet will 68 oz cover
Answer:	I have large pool and used 1-1/3 of the ChemLink NoveLink sealant. Make sure you use backer rod for deep crevices that your filling and you will use less of the sealant.
Question:	gap, how much is needed per foot? or 1/2 gap 135 linear feet how much is needed approximately assume depth is the same
Answer:	I used both from a 2 pack for a pool that had approx 59' of ½"w x ¼" to ½" deep. I used foam instead of sand for the spacer between deck and coping and had varying depth. If I were to do it again I would use sand because you can get a more consistent depth. Chemlink's website has instructions and videos and I believe they recommend ¼" depth. At a consistent ¼" depth I would estimate I would have used ½ of the second one. As for the product so far I am very happy with it. It lays in easily, levels nicely, cleans up easily and I threw sand on top of it to make it look more like grout. Cures slower than a 2 part but I was fine with that because I'm a homeowner and the longer working time and not having to mix it was appreciated.

Liquid Rubber Polyurethane Smooth Deck Coating forms a hard yet flexible, single-component, protective membrane that combines specific polyurethane and acrylic polymers. This easy to apply, ultra-low VOC coating can be used to protect decks, docks, outdoor walkways, floors, and much more. Given the cured membrane's superior strength, waterproof properties, and high adhesion to most substrates, Liquid Rubber's Polyurethane Deck Coating is an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor, and hot and cold environments. This high tensile coating is designed for multiple surfaces including wood, concrete, and metal and should be applied 3-4 coats.

Drying Time:

At 25C/77F and 50% relative humidity, fully cures in 72 hours at 1mm. Curing time increases in colder temperatures or higher humidity so environmental conditions must be considered before application.

User questions & answers

Question:	On concrete, does the multi purpose primer need to be applied first
Answer:	Eucalyptus wood works just fine with this oil. Cannot be used on wood previously varnished or Polyeurethaned. Should work absorbing into wood with weathered oil base stain-- we'd recommend a test area be done first to confirm uniformity.
Question:	Could this be used as a filler for small driveway cracks less than .25 inches
Answer:	VOC is for "volatile organic compounds", which is a measure of how much solvent/toxin is released into the air as it dries. The maximum allowed in flat/latex is 250 g per liter, and for other paints, the federal cap is 380 g/l. The lower the VOC number, the better for your health. A con of using lower VOC paints is that they may not be as long lasting or of lower quality than higher VOC paints.
Question:	On an old wood porch, to seal it and not have to paint again for a few years do i use cool foot deck and dock sealant or the polyurethane deck sealer
Answer:	I'm not sure what type of wood you have, but I'm going to assume you have Ipe which is dense and doesn't penetrate well to begin with. I would not recommend applying the Ipe oil over Thompsons Water Seal. It's likely to just sit on top of the water seal and not be able to penetrate the wood. If the oil doesn't soak into the wood, it won't dry. When the oil stays wet too long it gets sticky and dust sticks on the surface. You end up with a big mess. To give you an example, we have an area on our deck that is under a large overhang. It doesn't get much sun and therefore doesn't need to be re-oiled as frequently. Our painter power washed this area and let it dry. Then put another coat of the Ipe oil over an existing coat of Ipe oil. It took months for the oil to dry and because of the wind and all that naturally blows around outside, many particles stuck to the oil and it ended up looking dirty and filmy.
Question:	How do the liquid rubber products stand up to winter snow and rains, and summer sun at 7,000 ft. elevation with significant uv exposure and drying
Answer:	I had an older ipe deck ~ 16 X 46 ft or ~ 740sq ft. maybe a little more porousthan new after stripping older finish. 3 gallons just did it with some areas stillnot fully penetrated. I have a fourth gallon for touch up which seems quite easy.I'm very satisfied with the rich color and grain exposure, very nice and went on easily with a roller and brush touch up. Best ipe finish I've tiried. May use it on someteak on my sail boat.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the warranty on this
Answer:	I don't believe there is any warranty. We applied it two years ago and the covered areas still look good. The section in direct Sun...needs to have it applied again.
Question:	How long can the product be stored once the container is opened
Answer:	We actually used some that we had stored in our garage that was left over from the last time we stained our siding and that was in the summer of 2012, 6 yrs ago. When we removed the lid, it looked like it had become a gel but my husband used a drill with a paint mixer/stirrer tool and it became liquefied again. We applied it to the siding without incident and the color matched the new 5 gallon containers we bought this summer .
Question:	I have 275 ft of fence plus a gate- what's the coverage with using a sprayer
Answer:	I’m in the process of staining my fence (I am using a different brand) with a semi-transparent stain. I have 187’ of fence at 5’ high including 2 gates. Applied with a roller and brush, I’m going to need around 13 gallons. My recommendation is rent a sprayer from Home Depot. You’ll save time and money as you’ll use less product and it will go much much faster.
Question:	we have a heavy dining set and i am worried about scratches after i stain, how does it hold up to heavy chairs moving back and forth
Answer:	I have a deck/patio furniture set, including a cast iron umbrella base. Lots of use over the last year with no evidence of scratches in the deck. The stain penetrates the wood rather than building a barrier so dragging stuff across the boards won't take it off provided the wood is properly prepared.

Product description

SIS440 Caulk is the proven leader in the marine industry and was developed specifically for teak deck seams. It is a one-part, paste-like neutral cure formulation and when exposed to moisture in the air, it reacts to form a tough, flexible solid rubber compound. The sealant does not sag during cure, and has excellent temperature stability and chemical resistance once cured. Because the sealant is neutral cure, it is non-corrosive to all substrates, will not damage the surrounding environment or structures, and provides minimum shrinkage. Caulk is easy to sand and will not clog sandpaper.



Store in a dry area at temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and below 80°F (26°C). Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or freezing. The sealant has a shelf life of 18 months from manufacture date. See “BEST USED BY” date on packaging. Not designed for use under the waterline.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the preferred application method according to the label
Answer:	Apply to a clean, dry composite deck using a manual pump sprayer. Spray the sealer in an even , ample amount to soak in well. Cover end pieces and edges of boards thoroughly as well. Use a squeegee to get even coverage if necessary. Allow to dry thoroughly, 24 to 48 hours if needed. It will dry clear unless there is a deep puddle left standing upon application. (Small puddles will soak in and dry clear. Deep peddles may leave a slightly milky look after drying.) If you have no mold in your deck before you use this, this product will keep mold out of your composite deck for about three years.
Question:	Is this product water based
Answer:	I haven't put it down yet. I'm not sure if it's water based or not. I'm ordering a second gallon before I start as I won't have enough to finish. I will post what I find once I've had an opportunity to use it.
Question:	I have eon decking which can't have any petroleum based products. what exactly is in this product and will it harm my eon decking
Answer:	I don't know about your decking product, but we used this cleaner on our "TREX" deck, and it worked great. We power washed the deck before applying the cleaner, and it dried looking practically brand new.
Question:	will this work on Trex decking
Answer:	This works very well on Trex decking.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work where i have a slow drip leaking from the joint of pvc pipe to my septic inlet
Answer:	Overkill. 3m5200 is a permanent adhesive, but won't stick well if the surface is wet. If it does stick it won't come off. I'd look into some asphalt patching compound
Question:	Will this stick to epdm rubber roof or dicor rv tape on an rv
Answer:	It should, provided you did not use a silicon based sealer on the RV roof. I have used it on my RV roof, with good results. This is the best caulk I have ever used.
Question:	If there is excess adhesive, can it be sanded once fully cured? 2.Once opened will the adhesive remaining in the tube last for a few days
Answer:	Yes, but in my judgment, it does not sand well. To cut off excess, an X-Acto knife works better for me. It has lasted a few days for me IF it is very carefully sealed up.
Question:	Is it paintable
Answer:	Yes it is paintable
