Using this specific product
Loctite (Henkel) LOCTITE Super Flex 24 is listed here as the Flexible sealant and adhesive version for flexible sealing, gaps, and bonding. 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 Flexible sealant and adhesive; related versions can use different timing.
- For flexible sealing, gaps, and bonding, pay particular attention to joint depth, tooling, ventilation and exposure to water.
- Cured at 25°C and 50% relative humidity.
How to check readiness
Probe an inconspicuous edge for a continuous skin and follow the stated water-exposure milestone. The data sheet gives a tack-free time of 10 to 20 minutes.
Avoid this mistake
Surface skin is not the same as through-cure, especially in a deep joint.
