Interior Moulding , Trim & Corner Joints

Sealing moulding and trim can be a tricky project if the wrong sealant is used. Multi-piece crown moulding can have up to five or more moving parts that must be sealed. Seasonal changes can cause wood trim to expand and contract, stressing seams year-round. Alex Flex provides maximum flexibility and adhesion for a crack proof seal, as well as fast paintability and no paint shiners, making it ideal for moulding and trim projects.

Exterior applications

Alex Flex acrylic latex caulks can be used in both interior and exterior applications. For exterior applications, they should be applied in temperatures above 5°C, and not when rain or freezing temperatures are forecasted before a full cure can occur. Cold weather and high humidity may slow down cure time.

Surface preparation

Remove any old sealant from the seam or joint by cutting or scraping it away. Then clean the area with soap and water to remove dirt, dust, grease or debris. Rinse thoroughly. Make sure the area to be sealed is clean and dry to ensure good adhesion.

Straight edge

Apply painter’s masking tape to either side of the joint before applying the sealant. Remove the tape before the sealant skins over – about 2-5 minutes. To remove, lift the edge up at a 45° angle and pull away from you.
