Additional Information:
USES
DECK-O-SEAL is used for caulking and sealing joints subject to concrete
movement to provide a firm, flexible, weather-tight seal. It is ideal
for sealing joints on swimming pool decks. It is applicable for both
interior and exterior use.
| FEATURES/BENEFITS |
- Highly resilient with excellent
recovery characteristics
- Provides permanent and uniform
watertight seal.
- Prevents uncontrolled cracking
by allowing expansion and contraction during temperature changes.
- Stays flexible … won't
become brittle or crack due to ultraviolet exposure.
- Resists abrasion, weathering
and moisture … elevated temperatures will not cause discoloration.
- Not affected by today's
pool chemicals.
- Retains joint soundness
in service once it's cured and can be stretched or compressed up to
25%.

APPLICATION
Follow these instructions carefully for maximum effectiveness. BE SURE
TO WEAR PROTECTIVE SAFETY GLASSES AND CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES.
Surface Preparation… Remove
foreign substances, incompressibles and free water from joint opening.
For proper adhesion, joints must be clean and dry. Dust, dirt, and
laitance should be removed prior to application. Concrete should be
completely cured and free from all foreign materials and contamination
from curing agents. (Industry accepted standard for curing concrete is
28 days.) To maintain cleanliness around the joint to be sealed, apply
masking tape 2" wide to the surfaces adjoining both sides of the joint
before P/G PRIMER from W. R. MEADOWS and/or DECK-O-SEAL are applied.
Priming … DECK-O-SEAL adheres well to unprimed concrete; however, P/G PRIMER is recommended for optimum adhesion. P/G PRIMER is required for all joints subjected to hydrostatic pressure, submersed underwater, and/or joints over 1" in width.
Joint Sizes… Proper joint design practices and application techniques must be followed for successful performance. DECK-O-FOAM® or KOOL-ROD™
from W. R. MEADOWS may be used as a joint backing material to control
sealant depth and provide proper joint configuration. For larger
joints, use a non-asphalt joint filler, such as CORK EXPANSION JOINT
from W. R. MEADOWS, in the joint before sealing.
A 2:1 width-to-depth ratio should be maintained. However, in no case should joint sealant depth be less than 1/4" or exceed 1/2". DECK-O-SEAL should NOT be used in joints less than 1/4" (6.35 mm) wide.
Mixing…
DECK-O-SEAL is supplied in pre-measured kits with a ratio of setting
agent to base, which must be maintained. Store and mix in a cool,
shaded area. Do not mix until ready to use. (Product cannot be
re-sealed for future use.)
De-rim both cans with a
can opener. Mix small can (setting agent) first, then pour into larger
can. Pour the setting agent into the base and mix slowly. To aid in
proper mixing, scrape material from the sides and bottom of the
container until a uniform color is obtained. Continue mixing for a recommended 10 minutes, minimum.
A slow-speed drill can be used. Care must be taken to ensure that all
setting agent is thoroughly blended with the base component. Avoid
trapping air in the sealant.
Application Method…
At 77° F (25° C) and 30% relative humidity, the application life is
approximately one hour. Apply thoroughly blended material with supplied
squeeze bottle (96 oz. kits only), caulking gun, or any other suitable
applicator. Be sure to remove masking tape from both sides of the joint
before the sealant starts to set. DECK-O-SEAL will set firm and rubbery
within 24 hours at 77° F. At lower temperatures, curing time may take
longer.
Cleanup… Application equipment should be cleaned promptly with xylene or toluene.
PRECAUTIONS
DECK-O-SEAL is not compatible with asphalt and cannot be used in
asphalt concrete pavement or with asphalt-impregnated expansion joint
fillers. NOTE: Do not apply paint over surfaces sealed with DECK-O-SEAL
products. DECK-O-SEAL cannot be used underwater. Only DECK-O-SEAL #125
or DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE should be used in joints under the waterline
and it is strongly recommended that joints under the waterline be
installed by a professional contractor trained in joint sealing
application techniques.
