Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone strip be used outdoors and exposed to sunlight?
Yes, silicone rubber offers good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV light, making this strip suitable for many outdoor and exposed applications when correctly installed.
How do I fit the adhesive-backed silicone strip securely?
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry and free from dust or oils. Peel away a small section of the release liner, press the strip firmly into place, then gradually remove the rest of the liner while applying steady pressure along the length for best adhesion.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut with a sharp knife or scissors, and can be punched or trimmed to create bespoke gaskets, pads or seals to match your exact requirements.
