Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut this silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut to size using a sharp knife or scissors. For more precise shapes, such as custom gaskets, a straight edge or simple cutting jig can help achieve clean, accurate edges.
Is the adhesive backing suitable for all surfaces?
The adhesive backing is designed for clean, dry, non-porous surfaces such as metals, many plastics and painted finishes. Porous, dusty or oily surfaces may reduce adhesion, so cleaning and, where appropriate, priming the surface is recommended for best results.
Can this silicone strip be used outdoors and in varying temperatures?
Yes, silicone rubber offers good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. It also maintains flexibility and sealing performance over a wide temperature range, so it can be used in both heated and unheated environments.
