Sealant Removal Tips and Tricks

Sealant Removal Tips and Tricks

Sealant removal should be carried out at the start of a sealant application project, where there is existing sealant that must be removed properly to ensure successful re-application.

Without this removal, application will not only look uneven, but will be unable to do its job properly in sealing the joint.

As we supply sealant removal products to trades people throughout the UK, we have a huge range of products which improve the removal process and therefore make sealant application easier.

Our Top Sealant Removal Products

To properly remove sealants, it is essential to use high quality, reliable products during the process. Failing to remove the sealant properly will impact on how successful the following application is.

Although we stock a huge range of sealant cleaning and preparation products, we have picked three fantastic products which can be used in both a home DIY and trade project.

These products should be used by trained professionals due to their properties and requirement for careful application.

  1. Bond-It De-Bond Sealant Remover

Bond-It’s sealant remover is a fantastic product for the removal of cured silicone sealant, leaving services ready for re-sealing. Once excess sealant has been cut away, the sealant remover can be applied.

De-Bond Sealant Remover is also useful where silicone has been accidentally smeared over glass, ceramics and countertops. Many of our customers use this product to clean areas and ensure their sealant application looks seamless.

  1. Sika Aktivator 205

Used to maximise the adhesion of sealants on non-porous substrates, Sika Aktivator is a 1-part liquid which can be used by experienced professionals prior to sealant application.

This primer is easy to use, transparent and boasts a short flash-off time, making it ideal for us within a large construction project where time constraints play a part. It is essential to read the manufacturer’s guidelines prior to application to ensure the best result.

  1. Everbuild Multi-Use Giant Wipes

Everbuild’s Multi-Use Giant Wipes provide the perfect solution for cleaning excess sealant and removing dirt and grime from areas where sealant has been applied. These durable wipes can be used on hands, tools and surfaces to properly clean the area and remove any ingrained dirt.

As these wipes are multi-use, they can also be used to clean areas other than silicone, making them the ideal investment for a tradesperson.
