• Spray filler and rubber seal groove
generously with soapy water.
• Using the special filler insertion tool, insert
the filler into the rubber seal groove.
• Gradually insert filler into the rubber seal
groove ensuring to leave a 2 inch excess
length at the filler extremity.
• Every 6 inches or so, it is important to
compress the filler due to its tendency to
contract during drying process.
• When filler insertion is almost complete, cut
filler leaving ¼” of excess length to thwart
filler contraction over time then insert filler
into groove.
