🛠️ Bathroom Renovation in 6 Easy Steps (Without Removing Tiles)
Learn how to apply tile joint sealant with a clear coat kit:
1. Clean the Surface
Before applying the tile joint sealant, clean the surface thoroughly. Use a tile cleaner or mild detergent to remove dust, soap scum, and oil. Pay extra attention to the joints and corners where leakage is common.
2. Cut the Nozzle
Cut the nozzle of the sealant tube at a 45° angle. The cut size should match the width of the tile joints – not too wide or narrow. This helps in precise application.
3. Apply the Sealant
Gently squeeze the tube and apply the waterproof sealant directly into the joints. Cover every visible gap completely. A continuous, even bead ensures proper sealing.
4. Smooth the Joint
Use a sealant smoother or your damp finger to level the applied bead. This step improves both performance and appearance, preventing lumps and uneven coverage.
5. Allow to Dry
Let the sealant cure for at least 24 hours. Avoid using water during this time. Full curing gives you a strong, crack-free, and long-lasting waterproof barrier.
6. Clean Up Excess
Before the sealant dries completely, remove any excess material using a damp cloth or scraper. This leaves the tile surface clean and neat.
🧪 Most Important: Mixing Ratio
For two-component kits (Part A and B), follow this perfect mixing ratio:
2:1 Ratio — 50 ml of Part A and 25 ml of Part B
Mix in a 100 ml measuring cup
Pour the mixture into a needle container for accurate joint filling
This gives you a hard, clear, and durable coating that bonds tightly with ceramic tile surfaces.
💡 Final Tip
Fixing leaks without removing tiles is not only practical, but also adds years to your bathroom's life. With the right sealant, mixing ratio, and careful application, your bathroom can be dry, hygienic, and damage-free – without breaking a single tile!
