Application
Important: In all cases water must not come in contact with Digesil Gel as this will stop it from working. Mix Digesil Gel thoroughly with a clean stirring stick before use as a small amount of liquid will form on top of the gel during storage. Do not dilute or alter the product in any way.
- Remove heavy accumulations of adhesive or sealants using scrapers or other method.
- Apply a ½-inch layer of Digesil Gel over the sealant to be removed.
- Let gel sit for 15 – 30 minutes or until residue softens, “lifts” or shows signs of dissolving. Digesil Gel may be left on the surface for several hours to remove heavy buildup. Do not allow to dry.
- Removal: Although water may be used to rinse the product, rinsing with a mild cleaner such as eOx®, also available from RPM Technology, followed by pure water will improve removal of all residues.
AVAILABILITY: Digesil Gel is available in individual 6-oz. containers, 12 x 6-oz. cases, 5-lb pail and special order 35-lb buckets.
