Take off all release paper from the pad. Starting at one side of the outlet box, apply the pliable pad and overlap the putty onto the stud. Shape the putty completely around the outlet, including any connected cables, so that the outlet box is sealed against the stud with no exposed surface areas.
Cleaning
- Clean tools immediately after each use with warm, soapy water then wipe the tool surfaces dry to prevent rust. Leftover compound should be sealed and stored appropriately.
