Plasti Dip Plastic/Rubber Paint - Spray - Red - 311g

Product Information

Lubricate the rubber seals by spraying silicone lubricant onto a cloth and wiping it around the seal. I recommend spraying this onto the cloth, as opposed to directly onto the seal, because the stuff tends to go everywhere if you’re not careful. Because of the unique combination of versatility, flexibility, and high performance, there are many areas which can benefit from liquid rubber coating, including roofing, concrete sealing (and protecting steel reinforcement), environmental protection barriers, and waterproofing ponds, planters and basements. With the Dometic toilet, first pull out the lever to open the blade, and looking underneath, you’ll see two metal rods that the lever slides on. Give both of these a good squirt of silicone lubricant. It’s amazing how freely the lever will then slide. PLASTI DIP is an air dry, synthetic rubber coating that can be easily applied by spraying, brushing or dipping.

Of course, you can work your way around the van and clean all of the seals before going on to the next stage of maintenance; but with the windows wide open, be careful that you Shake the can: Before using the spray adhesive, shake the can well for at least 10-15 seconds to ensure that the adhesive is well-mixed.Metal: reduces vibration, deadens sound, prevents corrosion, insulates electrically and from extreme temperatures.

Spray silicone lubricant onto a clean cloth, rather than directly onto the rubber seals Wipe down all of the rubber seals with the silicone lubricant spray NON-PERMEABLE– Liquid rubber paint creates an impermeable barrier between the substrate and the environment. They can withstand ponding water for flat roofs, or be used in overspill containment. They are waterproof, vapour tight, air and gas barriers. PLASTI DIP coats and gives a comfortable, controlled, color coded grip to all types of tools; lawn and garden, mechanical, electrical, woodworking and masonry.Once the liquid rubber coating is applied, it needs to cure. Though it is touch dry in only a few hours, it will take 48 to 72 hours for the coating to be fully cured and bonded to the substrate. After this point usual traffic and usage may resume.

CHEMICAL AND WEATHER RESISTANT– Rubber is chemically resistant to most corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents, both liquids and gases. Liquid rubber can protect a substrate from chemicals in tanks, as well as corrosive environments like factories or plants. The heat resistance, waterproofing, salt resistance, and UV stability mean liquid rubber is extremely weather-proof.It's important to note that not all foam materials are created equal, and some adhesives may work better with certain types of foam than others. Be sure to read the product specifications and choose an adhesive that is appropriate for your specific foam material and application and to always test it first.

For the past eight years, we’ve had a Dometic toilet fitted in our caravans, and we’ve had no issue with them. They might perhaps require a little more maintenance than the Thetford models. However, much of what I’m about to outline below will be relevant to both brands.

Prepare the work area: Cover any surfaces that you do not want to get adhesive on, such as floors or nearby objects. Make sure the area is well-ventilated to prevent fumes from building up. With everything closed again, remove the toilet cassette (this applies to both Dometic and Thetford models), so that you can begin work on it. Liquid rubber paint is heat, chemical, weather, and impact resistant, as well as being flexible. In this article we will outline the benefits and applications of liquid rubber coating products, as well as where to find them in the UK. Finally, smear the top of the large rubber seal with silicone grease (if you don’t have any, at least give it a spray with silicone lubricant, although the grease is better). As with the other rubber seals, only clean initially with water if necessary and nothing else. I just tend to use a dry paper towel for this. It must be a silicone lubricant, such as (confusingly) WD-40 Specialist High-Performance Silicone Lubricant, or Thetford Seal Lubricant.
