Precautions for Cutting Silicone Sealant Nozzle

Before the construction of glass glue, in order to ensure smooth glue dispensing and full filling of joints, decoration technicians recommend cutting the glue nozzle appropriately. If the glue nozzle is not cut, the glue outlet itself will be small, resulting in less and slower glue output. It is easy to apply only a thin layer of glue, and the gaps will not be fully filled, leading to the later detachment of the glass glue. Especially for beginners, it is necessary to use a rubber cutting nozzle.

There are three common ways to cut the glue nozzle, namely flat cutting, oblique cutting, and snap cutting. The most commonly used method is a 45 degree oblique cutting, especially when applying glue to doors and windows, which must be done at a 45 degree angle to make it more secure. Therefore, when applying glass glue, it is necessary to oblique cut the end of the glass glue to maintain a 45 degree angle, so that the glue produced is very uniform.

Regardless of the method of cutting the glue nozzle, it is necessary to master certain skills and methods. Today, the editor will share with you the precautions for cutting the glass glue nozzle:

I、 Choose the appropriate tool

Cutting glass glue nozzles requires the use of specific tools such as scissors, pliers, cutting tools, etc., so choosing the appropriate tool is very important. Choosing the appropriate tool based on the size and shape of the glass glue nozzle to be cut can better complete the cutting task.

II、 Preprocessing

Before cutting, it is necessary to perform some pre-treatment on the glass glue nozzle to make it easier to cut.

Firstly, use scissors to cut off a small section of the glass adhesive nozzle at the tail end, leaving a small solid adhesive mark at the bottom of the nozzle. This can make the glue nozzle more stable and easy to cut; Secondly, let the rubber nozzle stand for a period of time to make it harder and more robust, which can better resist the pressure and deformation during shearing.

III、 Shear angle

Choosing the right angle is also crucial when cutting. For small-sized glue nozzles, it is recommended to use a straight cut method to better control the angle of the scissors and avoid damaging the scissor mouth. For large-sized rubber nozzles, it is recommended to use compression pliers to apply fast, precise, and strong compression at the selected cutting location, which can better complete the cutting task.

IV、 Precautions

1. When cutting the glass glue nozzle, it is important to maintain hand stability to avoid excessive force that may cause deformation of the object.

2. For weaker glue nozzles, the method of gripping with both hands can be used to clamp the nozzle between two tools and then perform cutting operations.

3. When cutting, be careful not to cut the center of the nozzle to avoid nozzle breakage or damage.

4. After completing the cutting, it is necessary to tidy and trim the cutting edge to make it flat and even, and there should be no situation where the cutting edge is too large.

The cutting techniques for the glue nozzle when applying glass glue include considering the gap size between the glass and the groove, selecting the appropriate cutting shape, using special techniques to handle the cutting edge, and paying attention to the technique and details when applying glue.
