Remove excess with cloth moistened with SF-99 Solvent.  SeamFil begins to harden immediately.  If shrinkage occurs, repeat process one hour later.   After several days curing time, SeamFil will achieve maximum strength.

Helpful Hints

DO

  1. DO clean up area to be repaired with SF-99 Solvent.
  2. DO use a polished putty knife to spread and work SeamFil. By mixing the SeamFil, the evaporation of solvents will thicken it, improve the application, and reduce shrinkage.
    Remember, an unpolished or nicked putty knife may scratch the laminate.
  3. DO make certain you close the tube so that it isn't hard the next time you reach for it.
  4. DO remember Standard SeamFil has satin texture, as do most laminated surfaces.   Add ClearGloss SeamFil to your mix for a glossy finish, and Retarder to extend the mixing time.
  5. DO order SeamFil through your local distributor.  If you're uncertain who is distributing SeamFil in you area, please feel free to write or phone us.

                   

DON'T

  1. DON'T apply SeamFil directly from the tube (if you do, excess shrinkage may occur).
  2. DON'T expect to be able to fill a large void in one application.  If the area to be repaired exceeds 1/16", it is considered a large void.
  3. DON'T use SeamFil on vertical surfaces if there is any possibility of movement.  Remember, Standard SeamFil is rigid and will not flex as movement occurs.*
  4. DON'T use other solvents as they may cause crazing of SeamFil.  Remember, SF-99 Solvent is specially blended for laminated plastics, such as paint, vinyl, etc.
  5. DON'T expect SeamFil to repair hairline cracks or scratches.  It is designed to repair major defects.
  6. DON'T FORGET SeamFil can be made to match any color, in any quantity, by color experts at the factory.

Note:  Age may cause color separation in the tube.  If this occurs, we suggest that you squeeze the entire contents of the tube into a small sealable container, then remix and add SF-99 Solvent if necessary
