NOW when using the sealant you'll find its very thin and easy to work around (wicking) into the tight areas making a good seal. I'll actually apply an excessive amount in one spot and blow on it to help work into tight areas were i can't get the applicator tip. don't be afraid to apply what may look like to much, cause when it drys it shrinks down to a tight coating. Hope this helps good luck!
