Some best fixing products for your cars.

1.Silicon

Silicon is a multi-purpose sealant used for sealing or to prevent the passage of fluids and other substances from getting into joints and any openings in a material. Silicon appears in two (2) different colors which are black and white. However, black silicone is commonly used in our everyday activities making it easier to get than that of white silicone because it is barely used by people and less available.

Silicone is used in so many ways and for many materials. Here are some uses of silicone;
  • They are used to seal openings or cracks on walls, tiles or floor tiles as well.

There are so many uses of silicone but that is just the few you could get. As I said earlier it's a multipurpose substance.

A brief information on how the silicon (sealant) is used or applied.

First ensure a clean and dry surface before applying the silicone. The area where the silicone would be applied on must be free from dirt, oil and even old sealants. After a well cleaned surface, cut off the tip of the nozzle and screw it on to cartridge. Fit into a caulking gun, then apply on the surface. All excess sealant should be wiped off with turpentine.

You might be wondering what a caulking gun is? A caulking gun is a tool in which silicone is placed in it so as to push out the substance (silicone). It makes the use of silicone easier and faster.
