How to use
Before application, remove as much of the old silicone as possible mechanically using a knife or scraper. Apply the MELLERUD Silicone Residue Remover directly onto the remaining silicone residues. Allow the product to penetrate and work for the duration specified on the packaging, depending on the thickness of the residue. Once the silicone has softened, remove the dissolved material with a spatula or a clean cloth. Clean the surface thoroughly with water or a suitable degreaser to remove any remaining traces of the product before applying new sealant.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the material compatibility of the surface you intend to clean
- Ensure the area is well-ventilated during application
- Wear protective gloves to avoid skin irritation
- Perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about surface reaction
Usage recommendations
Always ensure the surface is completely dry and free of any cleaning agent residue before applying new silicone to guarantee optimal adhesion and a long-lasting seal.
