Storage & Shelf Life
Use within 18 months of the manufacture date. Keep the original container cool, dry, and in a climate-controlled location. Best if stored at 70°F with less than 50% humidity. Reduced shelf life will occur at higher temperatures and higher humidity.

Directions & Surface Preparation
Use alcohol to clean all work surfaces of all debris, oil, loose paint, frost, and other contamination. Petroleum-based solvents like mineral spirits and xylene SHOULD NOT BE USED. Prior to application, keep R30RTV at room temperature for simple gunning and tooling. To guarantee a continuous bead, test and assess. Tooling should be completed within ten minutes of application, if necessary.
