About this product

An MS polymer sealant with a half-hour skin and a day to cure. The sheet gives no application temperature range, only a service range of -20 to +100°C.

Using this specific product

Evo-Stik Sticks Like Sh*t Sealant is listed here as the Single-part MS polymer sealant (UK) version for sealing and bonding, bathrooms, and frames. For sealing a joint, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Single-part MS polymer sealant (UK); related versions can use different timing.
  • For sealing and bonding, bathrooms, and frames, pay particular attention to joint depth, tooling, ventilation and exposure to water.
  • Depends on temperature and humidity.

How to check readiness

Probe an inconspicuous edge for a continuous skin and follow the stated water-exposure milestone. The sheet gives tack-free in 2 to 4 hours. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Reserve full cure for demanding use, chemicals, washing, immersion or load—not merely gentle handling.

Avoid this mistake

Surface skin is not the same as through-cure, especially in a deep joint.
