More Information

Before You Start:
• Check the weather. Pick a time where you’ll have good surface and air temperatures: 40°F (4°C) and rising to 120°F (49°C) and falling.
• Lower temperatures and higher humidity will slow cure time, so be sure to allow 1-3 days curing before exposure to direct rainfall. Use plastic sheeting with good airflow underneath to protect the product if rain is expected sooner.
• Natural shrinkage will give the joint a concave appearance; multiple applications may be needed to fill the joint flat.
• Big Stretch accepts latex paints/stains within 4 hours. (Wait at least 24 hours with low-end latex paints. Some low-end, flat latex paints may crack over Big Stretch, regardless of cure time.) If using an oil-based paint/stain, allow 1 week to cure. Larger beads may require more cure time before painting. Some paints/stains may interfere with adhesion regardless of dry time.

Application Information:
• If dirt or oils are present, wash with any household cleaner, rinse to remove and allow to thoroughly dry.
• Remove any old caulk, especially silicone. Use a silicone remover such as McKanica Silicone Caulk Remover.
•Joint design - Insert backer rod into joints deeper than 1/2” to provide for proper sealant depth and a stronger, longer lasting seal.
• Choose Bead Size – Cut the spout at a 45° angle to your desired bead size and puncture the inner seal.
• Gun Big Stretch into the joint and release the trigger at the end of each bead.
• For a smoother bead, use a damp foam or paint brush with a light, skimming touch.
• Clean up tools and hands with warm water and soap.
• Leftover Big Stretch can be stored if the nozzle is tightly wrapped with plastic wrap and a rubber band.

Storage and Clean-up:
• Clean up tools and hands with warm water and soap.
• Leftover Big Stretch can be stored if the nozzle is tightly wrapped with plastic wrap and a rubber band.

Product Questions

Product Questions

  • Does big stretch conduct electricity?

    Big Stretch's manufacturer, Sashco, confirms that it does not conduct electricity.  They consider it to be an insulator.

  • Can this be applied over my Sikkens Cetol 1 & 23 finish?

    Big Stretch is regularly used in conjunction with Proluxe Cetol 1 & 23 and there are no incompatibilities we have ever heard of between these two product lines. As long as you make sure the Proluxe is not wet from a new application, we would not expect you to have any problems here.
