Soudal Fix ALL Crystal - Triple Pack 'Rewards' Promo

Health & Safety Recommendations

Observe normal site labour hygiene throughout the work. Read the packaging label and Safety Data Sheet before use, and keep the work area well ventilated during application and curing, especially in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and other enclosed spaces where vapours and moisture can linger. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection, avoid prolonged skin contact, and wash hands before breaks and after finishing.

Keep Soudal Fix ALL Crystal away from children, pets, and food preparation areas. If uncured product contacts skin, wipe off and wash with soap and water. If it contacts eyes, rinse carefully with clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Maintain good housekeeping, as tooling solutions and small smears on tiles or floors can create slip hazards. Where working at height or around sanitary ware, keep the area clear and protect finished surfaces to prevent accidental contamination.

Substrate Suitability

Soudal Fix ALL Crystal is a crystal clear SMX hybrid polymer adhesive sealant designed for bonding, sealing, and filling where a transparent finish is important. It adheres well to many common construction materials, including glass, lacquered wood, PVC, metals, brickwork, concrete, and general building substrates, provided the surfaces are sound, clean, and correctly prepared.

It is not suitable for PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper, or copper containing materials such as bronze and brass. Avoid bonding PMMA (Plexi® glass) and polycarbonate (Makrolon® or Lexan®) in stress loaded applications, as stress cracking and crazing can occur. Where sealing or bonding polycarbonate is required, use Silirub PC. For self cleaning glass, do not use Fix ALL Crystal, use Soudal SMX 506. Fix ALL Crystal is not a glazing sealant, so it should not be used for glazing systems or perimeter glazing where a dedicated glazing silicone is specified, use Silirub 2 or Silirub LMN.

EPDM, neoprene, butyl, tar, and other plasticiser releasing materials can cause discolouration and adhesion loss with many sealants. Avoid direct contact with these materials. For EPDM detailing, use Silirub EPDM. For bitumen waterproofing, do not use Fix ALL Crystal, use Soudal Soudafalt.

Because substrates vary widely between manufacturers and site conditions, carry out a small adhesion and compatibility test before full application, particularly on coated metals, painted surfaces, plastics, powder coated trims, and unknown finishes.

Surface Preparation

A clean surface is the biggest factor in achieving a reliable bond and a neat, clear finish. The surface must be rigid and free from dust, grease, oil, polish, soap residues, release agents, and loose material. Fix ALL Crystal can be applied to dry and slightly moist surfaces, but remove visible water, condensation build up, or standing moisture. Moisture curing products benefit from a stable environment, so avoid applying onto surfaces that are actively sweating, saturated, or likely to be washed down before the sealant has skinned.

Prime porous surfaces with Soudal Primer 150 where better consistency is required, particularly on absorbent masonry, plaster, render, and similar substrates. Clean non porous substrates with Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser, then allow the surface to dry fully. If working in bathrooms or kitchens, remove old sealant fully, then remove limescale and cleaning chemical residues, as these are common causes of edge lifting and patchy adhesion.

Plastics frequently have processing aids or release agents, and many panels arrive with protective films. Remove any protection foil, then clean the bonding area thoroughly before sealing or bonding. If masking tape is used for a crisp finish, apply it after the surface has been cleaned and dried, and press the edges down firmly to prevent bleed under.

Application Method

Soudal Fix ALL Crystal is applied using a standard caulking gun. Cut the nozzle to suit the bead size required, and aim for a steady, continuous bead. Avoid pumping the trigger aggressively, as this increases the risk of air pockets, uneven flow, and mess on adjacent finishes.

For sealing work, apply the product evenly into the joint, ensuring full contact with both sides of the joint and a consistent fill across the full depth. Avoid stretching the bead, as stretched material tends to thin out and can reduce edge wetting. Tool the joint immediately, before skin formation begins. Under typical conditions, skin formation is around 4 minutes, so plan the work so you can finish each section promptly. Smooth using a spatula and finishing solution, but keep finishing solution away from the adhesion faces. If finishing solution touches the joint edges, it can create local adhesion loss, edge pull back, or small leak paths. For control, dip only the finishing tool, then tool the bead with light, consistent pressure.

For bonding work, apply the product in beads or dots to one substrate, with extra beads around edges and at panel corners to reduce voids and improve contact. Bring the parts together before skin formation starts, then press firmly to wet out the adhesive. Tap down carefully with a rubber hammer where appropriate, and provide temporary support where the component could slide or settle. Pressure quality matters more than pressure duration, so focus on even contact rather than prolonged clamping. For clear or visible joints, keep squeeze out to a minimum, as excess can be difficult to remove cleanly once it begins to skin.

Where appearance is critical, remove masking tape immediately after tooling, while the sealant is still wet, pulling the tape back on itself for a cleaner edge. Do not disturb the joint after tooling, as surface drag marks and haze are more noticeable on a clear sealant than on coloured products.

Joint Dimensions

For bonding, the minimum bond width is 1mm and the maximum bond width is 3mm. Staying within this range supports consistent curing and a controlled bond line, especially where transparency matters.

For sealing joints, the minimum joint width is 5mm and the maximum joint width is 10mm, with a minimum joint depth of 5mm. Fix ALL Crystal is not suitable for expansion joints, so it should not be used where large dynamic movement is expected. The maximum allowed joint movement is ±20%, so joint design should remain within that movement capacity once cured.

Where joint depth could become excessive, use a suitable PE backer rod to control depth and to prevent three sided adhesion, as three sided adhesion increases stress in the sealant and can shorten service life.

Coverage

Coverage depends on bead size and joint dimensions, so the linear metres achieved per cartridge will vary. Smaller joints provide greater linear coverage, while deeper or wider joints reduce it. Clear finishing usually produces slightly higher waste than standard sealing because test beads, nozzle trimming, and careful tooling are common.

For estimating, use the Platinum Chemicals Sealant Estimate Calculator, selecting the intended joint dimensions. Measure the length of each joint run, include returns, corners, and perimeter breaks, then add a realistic margin for irregular substrates, stop starts, and cleaning losses. This is particularly important in bathroom and kitchen work, where joints can vary in depth due to uneven tiling, silicone removal scarring, or movement gaps around trays and baths.

Curing Time

Soudal Fix ALL Crystal cures by moisture curing. Skin formation is typically around 4min, but this can vary with temperature, humidity, airflow, and bead thickness. The curing speed is typically 2mm/24h to 3mm/24h, so deeper beads take longer to cure through, especially in cooler or drier conditions. Maintain ventilation during curing, particularly in damp areas, as steady airflow helps consistent cure and reduces the chance of surface defects.

Avoid loading, washing, or exposing the joint to repeated splashing early. In sanitary areas, delay showering or heavy wetting for as long as practical so the seal can build early strength and resist water disturbance. Once cured, the seal remains permanently elastic and is suitable for both internal and external use, with temperature resistance from -40°C to +90°C.

Cleaning

Remove uncured product immediately. Use Soudal Swipex Wipes on tools and non porous surfaces while the material is still fresh. On glass, tiles, and metals, clean before skin formation to avoid smearing and to preserve clarity. If a haze occurs on glass, clean promptly using an appropriate cleaner that is compatible with the surface finish.

Once cured, Fix ALL Crystal can only be removed mechanically. Soudal Sealant Remover Spray can assist, but removal still requires careful mechanical action to avoid scratching glass, damaging coatings, or marking plastics. Always test cleaners and removers on a small inconspicuous area first, especially on painted finishes, plastics, and lacquered timber.

Limitations

Do not use Fix ALL Crystal on PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper, bronze, or brass. Do not use it on self cleaning glass, use Soudal SMX 506. Do not use it as a glazing sealant, use Silirub 2 or Silirub LMN. Do not use it for aquarium bonding, use Silirub AQ.

Do not use Fix ALL Crystal in applications where continuous water immersion is possible, and do not use it for expansion joints. Avoid direct contact with bitumen, tar, and plasticiser releasing materials such as EPDM, neoprene, and butyl, as this can lead to discolouration and adhesion loss. For EPDM, use Silirub EPDM. For bitumen waterproofing tasks, use Soudal Soudafalt.

Fix ALL Crystal is not recommended for natural stones such as marble and granite. It does not typically stain, but its transparency can create a wet look effect because the substrate remains visible beneath the seal line. Discolouration can occur due to chemicals, high temperatures, or prolonged UV exposure. A total absence of UV can also affect appearance in some environments, and very long exposure can gradually alter clarity under extreme conditions.

Other Information

Fix ALL Crystal is low emitting and supports LEED low emitting requirements for adhesives and sealants, including SCAQMD Rule 1168 and USGBC LEED 2009 Credit 4.1 in relation to VOC content. It can be painted with most water based paints, but due to the wide variety of paints and varnishes available, carry out a compatibility test first. Alkyd resin based paints may show increased drying times over cured sealant.

The sanitary formula supports mould resistance, but it does not replace regular cleaning. Excessive contamination, soap residues, and deposits can stimulate fungal growth on the surface of any sealant over time, so maintain normal hygiene routines in wet areas. When applying multiple reactive sealants in one location, allow the first product to cure fully before applying another, as overlapping curing systems can create adhesion and appearance issues.

Q) What is Fix ALL Crystal and what is it used for?

A) Fix ALL Crystal is a premium, crystal clear, neutral curing SMX Hybrid Polymer adhesive sealant designed for invisible bonding and clear joint sealing. It is made for situations where you want a strong seal or bond without an obvious bead line, especially on glass, glazed tiles, trims, and high-finish surfaces. It can be used for bonding, sealing, and light filling, and it remains permanently elastic after curing with a movement capability of up to ±20%. It also includes XS1 fungicides for mould resistance, which makes it a practical choice for bathrooms and kitchens where hygiene and appearance matter.

Q) What is the Fix ALL Crystal Triple Pack Rewards Promo?

A) The Fix ALL Crystal Triple Pack Rewards Promo is a promotional pack that contains three cartridges of Fix ALL Crystal and links the purchase to the Fix ALL Rewards loyalty scheme. The product inside the pack is the same crystal clear adhesive sealant used for bonding and sealing, but the key difference is the added rewards element for regular users. The scheme is designed to give end users access to gifts and competitions by collecting points from qualifying promotional packs. If you are buying Fix ALL Crystal regularly for fitting, maintenance, or finishing work, the triple pack format can be a convenient way to stock up while also earning rewards.

Q) What surfaces does Fix ALL Crystal usually bond to without primer?

A) Fix ALL Crystal is designed to deliver primerless adhesion on most common construction materials, which is one reason it is popular for general repairs and finishing work. On suitable, properly prepared surfaces it typically bonds well to glass, metals, PVC, brickwork, concrete, and coated or painted timber, along with many other stable building substrates. The neutral cure chemistry supports broader compatibility across mixed-material joints, especially where you want a clear finished line. Primerless does not mean prep free, so the joint faces still need to be clean, stable, and free from grease, dust, soap residue, or release agents. A small adhesion test is sensible on unfamiliar coatings.

Q) Is Fix ALL Crystal suitable for bathrooms and kitchens, and does it resist mould?

A) Yes, Fix ALL Crystal is well suited to bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid areas because it contains XS1 fungicides that help resist mould growth on the sealant surface. It is commonly used for clear sealing around baths, basins, shower trays, splashbacks, and worktop edges where water exposure and frequent cleaning are expected. For best results, preparation is just as important as the product. Remove old sealant fully, clean away limescale and soap film, and tool the bead to a smooth profile so water sheds rather than sitting on the joint. Good ventilation and routine cleaning still matter, because heavy contamination can encourage mould on any sealant.

Q) Can Fix ALL Crystal be used for bonding glass and transparent materials?

A) Fix ALL Crystal is often chosen for discreet bonding where a visible adhesive line would spoil the finish. It is useful for bonding compatible materials in interior fit-out work, repairs, and tidy detailing around glass and other high-visibility surfaces, provided the application is not structural and the joint design is appropriate. The crystal clear finish helps the bond line stay visually unobtrusive, which is ideal for trims, small fixtures, and decorative elements. As with any clear adhesive, surface cleanliness is critical because smears and contamination show easily. Keep bond lines controlled, press parts together before skin formation, and support items as needed while curing so the joint does not creep or open up.

Q) Can Fix ALL Crystal be applied in damp conditions or used outside?

A) Fix ALL Crystal can be used internally and externally and it is designed to work in variable site conditions, including on slightly damp or humid substrates. This makes it practical for maintenance and refurbishment jobs where perfect dryness is hard to guarantee. The key is that damp must not mean wet or contaminated. Remove standing water, loose material, and surface films so the sealant can wet out the substrate properly. Outdoors, protect fresh joints from rain wash-off during the early skinning stage and avoid using it where the joint will be continuously submerged. Once cured, it remains elastic and durable across typical weather and temperature swings, supporting general exterior sealing and repairs on compatible materials.

Q) How flexible is Fix ALL Crystal once cured, and what movement can it handle?

A) Fix ALL Crystal cures to a permanently elastic seal that can accommodate joint movement up to ±20% when the joint is correctly sized and applied to stable substrates. This flexibility is useful where materials expand and contract with temperature changes or where minor vibration and settlement occur, such as around trims, panels, and mixed-material junctions. The elastic nature helps reduce edge tearing and cracking compared with rigid fillers or brittle sealants. It is not intended for large expansion joints, so it should not be used where big structural movement is expected. If the detail is a true movement joint or glazing joint, a specialist silicone such as Silirub 2 or Silirub LMN is the better choice.

Q) How quickly does Fix ALL Crystal skin and cure?

A) Fix ALL Crystal has rapid skin formation, typically around four minutes, so you need to apply and tool promptly for the cleanest finish. After skinning, curing continues through the bead at roughly 2mm per twenty four hours to 3mm per twenty four hours, depending on temperature, humidity, airflow, and bead thickness. Thicker beads cure more slowly, especially in cool or dry conditions. For sanitary sealing, avoid washing down or using the area too soon, because early water exposure and joint disturbance can weaken edge adhesion and spoil the appearance. Good ventilation supports a steady cure, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and other enclosed spaces.

Q) What surface preparation gives the best results with Fix ALL Crystal?

A) The joint faces should be rigid, clean, and free from dust, grease, loose paint, soap residue, and previous sealant. In kitchens and bathrooms, contaminants such as limescale and cleaning-product build-up are common causes of edge lifting, so remove them thoroughly before sealing. On non-porous surfaces, cleaning and degreasing with Soudal Cleaner & Degreaser helps remove oils and improves wetting. On porous or dusty substrates, priming with Soudal Primer 150 can stabilise the surface and improve consistency, especially where the background is chalky or very absorbent. Because plastics and coatings vary, it is good practice to do a small adhesion and appearance test on unfamiliar finishes before committing.

Q) When should I use Soudal Primer 150 with Fix ALL Crystal?

A) Use Soudal Primer 150 when you are sealing or bonding onto porous, absorbent, dusty, or inconsistent surfaces and you want maximum reliability. Examples include certain masonry, cementitious edges, or backgrounds that are friable or prone to chalking, especially in external or high-importance joints. Primer 150 helps consolidate the surface and can improve adhesion consistency, reducing the risk of edge failure caused by a weak substrate rather than the sealant itself. Apply primer neatly only to the bonding faces, allow it to dry as instructed, and keep the primed areas clean before sealing. On many non-porous surfaces, primer is often unnecessary if cleaning and degreasing has been done properly.

Q) How do I apply Fix ALL Crystal as a sealant and get a neat clear joint?

A) Cut the nozzle to match the joint size, apply a steady continuous bead, and keep the nozzle positioned so the sealant is pushed into the joint rather than dragged across the surface. Work in short runs you can finish immediately, because Fix ALL Crystal skins quickly. Tool straight away to compact the bead and form a smooth profile, which helps water shed and makes cleaning easier later. If you want sharp edges, mask both sides of the joint first, then remove the tape immediately after tooling while the sealant is still fresh. Keep finishing liquids away from the adhesion faces, as contamination at the edges can cause local loss of adhesion over time and can spoil the look of a clear joint.

Q) How do I use Fix ALL Crystal as an adhesive without seeing the bond line?

A) Keep bond lines controlled and consistent. Apply Fix ALL Crystal in beads or dots to one surface, add extra material near edges and corners, then bring the parts together before skin formation starts. Press firmly to wet out the adhesive, because contact quality matters more than how long you hold it. For a cleaner invisible result, avoid thick blobs and aim for a tight, even bond thickness so curing is predictable and the bond line stays discreet. Wipe smears immediately, as clear residue can be hard to spot until it catches light. Where parts could slip or creep, provide temporary support until curing has progressed, especially on vertical trims or small fittings.

Q) Can Fix ALL Crystal be painted after curing?

A) Fix ALL Crystal can be painted with many water based paint systems once fully cured, which is useful when you need a clear seal initially but want a coloured finish later. The most important step is allowing sufficient cure time first, because paint applied too early can affect appearance and may restrict curing in thicker sections. Always carry out a small compatibility test with your exact paint, because paint flexibility varies widely and the paint film needs to move with a permanently elastic sealant. If the paint is too rigid, it can crack along the joint even if the sealant underneath remains intact. For the cleanest finish, keep the bead smooth and consistent before painting.

Q) What joint sizes suit Fix ALL Crystal best?

A) Fix ALL Crystal works best on neat finishing joints rather than large movement details. For sealing, a minimum joint width of 5mm and minimum depth of 5mm is a sensible baseline, with a maximum sealing width typically around 10mm for good appearance control. For bonding, keep the bond line tighter, usually around 1mm to 3mm, so the joint cures reliably and stays visually discreet. This product is not intended for expansion joints, so do not use it where large structural movement is expected or where wide dynamic joints are part of the design. If you need a dedicated façade or glazing movement sealant, select a specialist silicone designed for that purpose.

Q) How do I clean up Fix ALL Crystal during application and after it cures?

A) Clean while it is still uncured. Use Soudal Swipex Wipes to remove fresh material from tools and non-porous surfaces, and change wipes regularly to avoid smearing a thin clear film across surrounding finishes. Remove masking tape straight after tooling to keep edges crisp and reduce clean-up. Once cured, Fix ALL Crystal usually needs mechanical removal, but Soudal Sealant Remover Spray can help soften residue and make removal easier on suitable surfaces. Always test removers on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, painted finishes, and coated trims. On glass and glossy surfaces, clean smears promptly because clear residues can be difficult to see until they catch the light later.

Q) What are the main limitations and unsuitable materials for Fix ALL Crystal?

A) Avoid using Fix ALL Crystal on low surface energy plastics such as PE, PP and PTFE (Teflon®), and avoid bituminous substrates and copper or copper containing materials such as bronze and brass. It is not suitable as a glazing sealant, so for glazing joints use Silirub 2 or Silirub LMN. It is not suitable for aquarium bonding, so use Silirub AQ. Avoid stress-loaded bonding on PMMA (Plexi® glass) and polycarbonate (Makrolon® or Lexan®) because stress cracking and crazing can occur, and for polycarbonate sealing use Silirub PC. Avoid contact with EPDM and other plasticiser releasing materials, and for EPDM interfaces use Silirub EPDM.

Q) Will Fix ALL Crystal stay clear, or can it change colour over time?

A) Fix ALL Crystal is designed to cure crystal clear and remain visually discreet, but like most sealants it can be affected by environment and exposure. Discolouration can occur in harsh conditions, including chemical exposure, elevated temperatures, or prolonged UV exposure. Some colour shift can also occur in areas with a total absence of UV, which is worth considering for enclosed spaces or permanently shaded details. These changes are often aesthetic rather than structural, but if appearance is critical it is wise to test a small area first in a similar exposure environment. Keeping the joint clean, avoiding aggressive cleaning chemicals, and applying onto properly prepared substrates all help the joint maintain a better long-term appearance.

Q) What safety precautions should I follow when using Fix ALL Crystal indoors?

A) Follow normal site hygiene and read the packaging label and Safety Data Sheet before use. Even though Fix ALL Crystal is low odour, ventilation is still important during application and curing, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, cupboards, and other enclosed spaces. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection, avoid prolonged skin contact, and wash splashes off promptly with soap and water. Keep the work area tidy to reduce slips and accidental contact with fresh sealant. Keep the product away from children and food preparation during application and curing. If product contacts eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Prevent access to freshly applied joints until the surface has skinned and is protected from disturbance.
