It has a formidable, market-leading bond, multiple health and safety accreditations to its name, and has been dubbed the “healthiest” sealant available. But what one quality makes BT1 the first choice for so many users? How easy it is to use. Here are three tips from real BT1 users.
- Get a professional finish with washing up liquid
To get a great-looking result, you may have heard to smooth down your applied sealant with a wet finger. But one BT1 user recommends levelling up your finish (and clean up) by dipping your finger in a water and washing up liquid solution first.
This top tip to add washing up liquid will make your finger even more frictionless and help you out when smoothing down long bead applications, such as the side of a bathtub. You can then reuse the solution for any clean up.
- Apply masking tape for quick and easy clean up
Speaking of clean up, BT1 starts to cure instantly, so cleaning up any excess or unwanted solution means you should act fast. If you would rather focus on the job at hand and save the clean up until the end, BT1 users suggest applying masking tape around your desired application area before you begin.
The masking tape should catch any unsightly edges after you’ve smoothed down BT1 and any other mishaps or mistakes when using the product. After all, accidents happen! While this adds time to your preparation stage, you will recoup it later with little to no cleanup time.
The added bonus of using masking tape is the perfect final result. Remove your masking tape promptly after applying BT1 to reveal straight, clean lines, then leave to finish curing. You should get a fantastic, professional-looking finish.
- Use BT1 for more than just bathrooms
BT1 will bond a wide range of materials, including wood, metals, brickwork, glass, concrete, ceramics, uPVC, and most plastics, even in wet conditions. While BT1 is most frequently used in kitchens and bathrooms, its applications stretch much further.
Its unique TRIBRID® technology makes BT1 360% stronger than traditional hybrid polymers meaning users trust BT1 to create a formidable bond on a breadth of DIY projects. Other applications to use BT1 for include:
– Bonding mirrors and ornaments to interior and exterior walls
– Sealing windows and doors
– Furniture repair jobs
– Any DIY jobs that require sealant and adhesive inside or outside the home or workplace
