What mastic seal does and when to replace it

Mastic stays pliable after it's pressed into place, so it fills uneven gaps and moves a little as parts expand and contract. It keeps moisture, grease, spills and air out of places they shouldn't reach. Once a panel, trim or glass section has been lifted for a repair, the old mastic is usually torn or flattened and won't reseal properly. Gaps left behind can let liquid seep underneath, cause rattles or draughts, or let heat escape. Fresh strips are the tidy way to finish the job.

Applying new mastic

Switch the appliance off at the wall before you start. Scrape away every trace of old mastic and wipe both surfaces clean and dry, as the new strip won't grip over grease or crumbs. Lay the strip along the join without stretching it, trim the length to suit, then press the parts together firmly and evenly. Keep the spare strips sealed in their packet for next time.
