Big Stretch is perfect for many interior and exterior applications, including: windows,
doors, siding, vents, soffits, eaves, and baseboards. It is also good for crown
molding and sound proofing interior walls.
Cure time
All water-cleanup caulks cure by water evaporation. Cure is greatly slowed down
by these weather conditions: combinations of low temperature (40 F or lower), humidity
of 50% or more, no direct sunlight, and large bead size (over 1/2"). Big Stretch
has resistance to rain washout after application sooner than most water-cleanup
caulks, yet some general precautions should be taken. Allow 1-3 day's cure before
exposure to direct rainfall. Use a plastic sheet to protect if rain is expected
sooner, making sure there is good airflow between the sheet and Big Stretch to help
curing. In severe weather conditions, as described above, longer cure time will
be needed (2 weeks or more!) before rain resistance is achieved.
Where Not to Use Big Stretch
Big Stretch should not be used or specified in areas of water submersion, where
frequent or prolonged puddling occurs, or in areas of high foot or vehicle traffic
(i.e., swimming pools, tubs, showers, sidewalks, driveways, highways, and patios).
Not for use on roofs, where prolonged dampness or possible submersion may inhibit
curing.
