Best Glue for Outdoor Sealing
One of the most important jobs an outdoor glue can have is sealing. Sealing is essential because it keeps the elements outside your home and prevents things like mold and mildew from forming in your living space. A good outdoor sealant will prevent those things for you and the best outdoor sealant for the job is GE Advanced Silicone. GE Advanced Silicone is 100% weatherproof and can easily handle being applied to an area that consistently sees water and weather exposure and will even be ready to handle rain just 30 minutes after application. It won’t shrink or crack after application and it will also resist freezing and UV damage.
How to Seal an Outdoor Window
- To seal an outdoor window using GE Advanced Silicone, you'll first need to gather your adhesive, a caulk gun, mineral spirits, soap and water, a painter's knife, a caulk smoothing tool, and gloves.
- Remove any old sealant that might still be in the window by cutting, scraping, or chipping it away with a painter's knife.
- After that you can slean the area thoroughly with soap and water and wait for it to dry completely.
- From there you can puncture the inner seal of your GE Advanced Silicone before putting it in the caulk gun and testing it on a piece of cardboard.
- Finally, you can apply the adhesive to the window before using your gloved finger or calk smoother to smooth the sealant into the window. Make sure to do that within 5 minutes of application.
