generously with soapy water.

Using the special filler insertion tool, insert
the filler into the rubber seal groove.

Gradually insert filler into the rubber seal
groove ensuring to leave a 2 inch excess
length at the filler extremity.
o
Every 6 inches or so, it is important to
compress the filler due to its tendency to
contract during drying process.
o
When filler insertion is almost complete,
cut filler leaving ¼” of excess length to
thwart filler contraction over time then
insert filler into groove.
