Simple Seal

™

Paint Projects Sealant makes sealing projects simple! Achieve professional looking results by sealing gaps and cracks around trim, molding and baseboards before painting. The easy-to-use aerosol can eliminates the need for a caulk gun. Simply cut the tip to the desired bead size and press the nozzle to apply. The compact can is designed to be used in any direction to help with application in hard to reach areas. Project time is reduced since the sealant is ready to paint in only 30 minutes after application. The cured sealant is mold and mildew resistant to keep the sealant looking cleaner for longer. Even clean-up is simple since the uncured caulk rinses away with soap and water. Simple Seal
