Before you Start: Good Tips to Know
• Check the weather. Pick a time where you’ll have good surface and air temperatures: 40°F (4°C) and rising to 120°F (49°C) and falling.
• Lower temperatures and higher humidity will slow cure time, so be sure to allow 1-3 days curing before exposure to direct rainfall. Use plastic sheeting with good airflow underneath to protect the product if rain is expected sooner.
• Natural shrinkage will give the joint a concave appearance; multiple applications may be needed to fill the joint flat.
• Sashco Big Stretch accepts latex paints/stains within 4 hours. (Wait at least 24 hours with low-end latex paints. Some low-end, flat latex paints may
crack over Big Stretch, regardless of cure time.) If using an oil-based paint/stain, allow 1 week to cure. Larger beads may require more cure time before painting. Some paints/stains may interfere with adhesion regardless of dry time.

All Homes Move…
The window frame moves away from the siding or the door shifts against the brick. They move when the temperatures change, the wind
blows, the ground swells or the earth quakes. Most caulks can’t take it – they dry hard and crack out. That’s why you need Sashco Big Stretch.
just about any movement a home can dish out.
