How to Use Silicone Cord

Cutting to Size:

Measure and cut the silicone cord to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Installation:

For sealing applications, place the silicone cord into the groove or area where a seal is needed.

Use adhesive or a silicone-compatible sealant to secure the cord if necessary.

Joining Ends:

For continuous loops or O-rings, the ends of the silicone cord can be joined using an appropriate adhesive designed for silicone rubber.

Maintenance:

Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage and replace as needed to maintain effective sealing or insulation.
