FAQ
At what temperature should AquaSil be used?

We recommend you use it at room temperature. The temperature range for a possible application is between +5 °C and +40 °C. It cannot be used under +5 °C.

JBL AquaSil: A few days after gluing a large decor, there is still a strong smell of vinegar. Does that mean I need to wait a while longer?

When gluing the full surface of decor materials with AquaSil Silikon, hardening takes much longer, as the outer contact surface is much smaller in relation to the surrounding area compared to a stretched silicone seam. As you have noted correctly, the vinegar odour is an indication that the silicone is not yet fully hardened.

I want to seal a seam. Will silicone even hold up on an existing surface of silicone?

In fact, silicone will not set properly on silicone, because bridging bonds cannot be formed on set silicone. Therefore, if you wish to reseal a seam, it is advisable to apply a broader layer of the Aquasil to the old silicone seam, so that the contact surface with the glass is large enough.

Why doesn't JBL AquaSil hold up on the background after drying?

As long as the BDB has not expired, the bond will hold up. Cleaning the surface before application, e.g. with acetonene, is helpful in these cases.

Can I add shrimps in a NanoCube after the use of JBL AquaSil?

The released acetic acid reacts with water to create acetates, which do not harm the animals. As an organic source in the water these acetates are then broken down by bacteria, which can lead to slight bacterial algae blooms and as result to a reduction of the oxygen content.
However the decisive factor here is the ratio of emitted acetates to water volume. I would be careful about using a NanoCube at the beginning. It is possible to prevent this effect in carrying out a daily water change of 50 % for about one week. This will bring about a sufficient dilution.

not only great for gluing glasses and plastics, but also for aquascaping hardscapes - gluing rocks together. I have used it for 7 of my aquascapes already. they never break.

Schnelle Notfall Hilfe.

Meine Abdeckung war leicht undicht geworden ich konnte sie mithilfe des Silikons schnell abdichten, sie trocknete schnell selbst bei der hohen Feuchtigkeit die in der Abdeckung herrschte.

Das Silikon lässt sich einfach aus der Tube drücken und verarbeiten

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails).

A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event outside the context of a website, such as a new blog post, a competition or a voucher.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
