What is the construction method of the seam beautifier? How to identify the best seam beautifier

A good quality caulking agent has the functions of moisture-proof, waterproof, anti-seepage, and anti-staining, so that the tile joints will not be dirty and black. The raw materials used for high-quality caulking agents are high-quality pigments, high-quality curing agents, high-quality epoxy resins, etc. The raw materials that do not contain nonylphenol are environmentally friendly, healthy and odorless caulking agents. Before we carry out the caulking, we must handle the base layer well. If the base layer is not dry or dusty, it will easily cause the caulking agent to change color and turn white, and it will also cause caulking. It is recommended to use an electric glue gun during construction. This prop allows us to apply the glue evenly during construction, which makes construction more convenient. It improves our work efficiency.

What is the construction method of seam beautifier?

1. After the tiles are laid, they need to be cleaned and the fillers in the gaps between the tiles should be cleaned up to avoid any floating dust. Note that when cleaning the fillers in the gaps, try not to scratch the tiles.

2. After all the stains in the gaps are cleaned up, you can use a sponge with an appropriate amount of water to wipe the gaps between the tiles. Only after confirming that there is no dust in the gaps between the tiles can you start applying glue.

3. Install the prepared caulking agent on the glue gun, and then cut the glue nozzle at a 45-degree angle. Then you can start gluing. At this time, you need to stop every 1m or so, scrape the place where the caulking agent is applied, and clean up the overflowed caulking agent to prevent it from drying out and increasing the difficulty of cleaning.

4. After the gaps between the tiles are filled with caulking agent, check whether there are any problems so that they can be repaired in time. Then, apply the caulking agent for the second time to ensure the construction quality of the caulking agent.

How to identify the best seam beautifier

1. Smell. After unscrewing the lid of a good caulking agent, there is a faint smell, which means that it is made of high-quality raw materials. If the smell is very pungent, it means that it is made of inferior raw materials, which are harmful to the human body and will affect human health.

2. Check the consistency. If some caulking agent is squeezed out on the tile and is not easy to wipe off, it means that the consistency is appropriate, the adhesion is strong, and the caulking agent is not easy to fall off in the later stage. The caulking agent that flows on the wall during construction is easy to collapse and fall off in the later stage, indicating that the raw materials are unqualified.

3. Curing time. The curing time of high-quality caulking agent is generally 3-5 hours for moderate curing and 48 hours for complete curing. If it is not cured after more than 12 hours in winter, it means that the quality of the curing agent is very poor.

4. Hardness. The harder the caulking agent is, the better it is. A caulking agent that is too hard is very brittle and easy to fall off later. A good caulking agent is hard but soft and has good toughness.

5. Glossiness. After the caulking agent is cured, the surface is flat and smooth, the color is bright, and the light is soft. If the caulking agent is dull and the surface is not smooth after curing, it means that the pigment is very poor and it is easy to change color later.

What are the precautions for the construction of seam beautifier?

1. The caulking agent that flows out for the first time after opening cannot be used, because the mixture of this kind of caulking agent is not balanced, so the effect is not good and it is easy to fade.

2. It is recommended to use an electric glue gun during construction. This prop allows us to apply the glue evenly during construction, making construction more convenient and improving our work efficiency.

3. Before we carry out construction, we must handle the base layer well. If the base layer is not dry or dusty, it will easily cause the caulking agent to change color and turn white, and it will also cause caulking.

4. If the thickness of the cold air construction is not enough or it is not filled fully, the internal air cannot be compressed, resulting in bubbling.

What are the special tools for seam beautifier?

1. Cleaning tools: mop, towel, shovel, bucket.

2. Seam cleaning tools: wallpaper knife, blade, seam cleaner, vacuum cleaner, needle-nosed pliers, flat-blade, and thread screwdriver.

3. Caulking tools: large scraper, silicone glue gun.

4. Beautifying tools: glass glue gun, S-shaped scraper, sponge.

5. Slitting tools: slitting cone and blade.

6. Porcelain seam tools: two-component glue gun, special processor for Yin and Yang corners, small scraper, seam pressing steel ball, wax, and masking tape.
