Seal to perfection


Silicone sealant is commonly used to seal corners in a variety of areas. However, the application usually requires a relatively high level of skill to achieve a consistent quality of finish. Seal Rite, the new sealant masking system from Everbuild Building Products, is a dispenser and micro-fine foil masking tape which enables both tradesmen and DIY-ers to achieve a perfectly finished joint every time, without any level of skill, eliminating both mess and wastage. The adjustable dispenser, which has a patent pending, allows the joint width to be adjusted using the outer wheel of the product. Both of these outer sides move simultaneously so that when applied the tape is positioned offset from the wall by the chosen number of millimetres. There are six joint size options ranging from 4 to 9mm, in 1mm increments. It is easy to run the dispenser down one side of the corner joint, nipping off the tape when the bottom is reached, with the handy cutting blade built into the dispenser. The same is then repeated on the adjoining wall to create the parallel lines to apply the sealant. Once this has been done, the Everbuild Smooth-Out Tool should be used to smooth down the joint before the tape is pulled off leaving “The Perfect Seal Everytime”.
