INSTALLATION:
Joint Design: The width of the joint should be a minimum of 4 times the
anticipated movement. In joints up to 1/2" wide, the depth of the sealant
should be equal to the width, but not less than 1/4". In joints wider than
1/2", the depth should be maintained at 5/8". Lap shear joints should have a
width of at least twice the anticipated movement. Surface Preparation: Joints to receive sealant must be sound, smooth,
uniform in dimensions and free from defects and foreign material. They must be
clean, dry, free of frost and all contaminants, such as curing compounds,
sealers (waterproofing), coatings, etc. Sealant adhesion should be tested on
each different substrate prior to caulking. To test adhesion, apply a sealant
bead and allow to cure thoroughly. Then pull one end of the bead to test
adhesive strength. Joint Backing: Joint depth should not exceed 5/8". An open cell backer
rod should be used to control joint depth. In shallow joints, a bond breaker
tape should be installed to prevent three-point contact. Service Temperature: -20° F to 150° F Application Temperature: -20° F to 150° F Application and Tooling: Apply with conventional caulking equipment.
Fill joints from the back to prevent voids and airpockets. If application
temperature is below 40° F. (5° C.) precautions should be taken to ensure the
substrates are completely dry and frost free. Immediately after application,
tooling is recommended to insure firm, full contact with the joint sides. Cleaning: Remove 3300 from gun and tools before it cures. This may be
done by scraping and use of solvents such as Xylol. Cured materials may be
removed by cutting with sharp tools or sandpapering. Caution: Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and
flame. Do not take internally. Avoid eye and skin contact. KEEP OUTOFREACH OF
CHILDREN. This product, as supplied may be harmful or fatal if swallowed. If

MAINTENANCE:
If sealant is damaged and the bond is intact, cut out the damaged area and
recaulk. No primer is required. If the bond has been affected, remove the
sealant, clean and prepare the joint in accordance with the instructions under
"Surface Preparation" and recaulk.
TECHNICAL SERVICES:
Geocel representatives throughout the U.S. are available to provide technical
assistance. Geocel's in-house technical staff and laboratory facilities are
equipped to respond to specific requests for further information and/or
