Caulk is a sealant used to fill exposed seams on both interior and exterior applications. The versatile compound is available in different forms that are suited for particular types of projects. Applying caulk on copper surfaces can be most effectively accomplished with Butyl Sealant. This rubber sealant is the strongest caulking option and can provide a bond durable enough to seal metal. Butyl Sealant is intended for heavier surfaces and outdoor applications. Caulking on copper yourself will require the appropriate supplies and the proper method.
Instructions
1 Prepare a well-ventilated workspace and protect your hands with a pair of latex gloves.
2 Wipe the copper surface with a damp rag to clean the targeted areas of any loose debris and residue. Dry the exposed seams thoroughly before proceeding with the Butyl Sealant.
3 Load a cartridge of butyl rubber sealant into the caulking gun. Squeeze a bead of caulk no more than 1/4-inch thick to one end of a seam.
4 Proceed to apply the caulk along the entire length of the copper seam. Do not attempt to smooth Butyl Sealant as it is the most adhesive sealant and will stick to virtually any applicator.
5 Repeat these steps for all desired areas and allow the Butyl caulking to cure overnight.
