  "description_short": "A clear, sticky, non toxic gel applied with a standard caulking gun. One tube covers 3 linear metres. The answer for corbels, cornices and anything shaped.",
  "description": "The shape of the surface decides\n\nOn a straight ledge, a spike strip is cheaper, permanent and needs almost no maintenance. It wins on cost and it wins on longevity.\n\nOn a corbel, a moulded cornice, a curved beam or a shaped sill, a strip simply will not sit. That is what gel is for, and it is why most real buildings need both products rather than a choice between them.\n\nApplying it\n\nA steady bead along the middle of the surface, in one pass, with a standard caulking gun held at a consistent angle. Three linear metres per cartridge assumes a bead. Laying it on thick does not make it work harder, it just collects dust faster.\n\nClean the surface first. Scrape off droppings, wash, dry. Gel over a dirty surface lifts with the dirt.\n\nWhat it is not\n\nIt is not a trap and it is not an adhesive designed to catch anything. Birds find the surface unpleasant underfoot and stop using it. Apply it as a bead rather than a layer, and do not use it where small birds are nesting close by.\n\nIts honest weakness\n\nIt is not permanent. Dust, grit and pollen land in it and eventually form a crust, and a crusted gel is a shelf. On a clean sheltered surface that takes a long time. On a dusty roadside parapet, plan on it as a seasonal job and put a note in the diary rather than discovering it when the birds come back.\n\nTest it with a finger where you can reach. Tacky is working. Dry and dusty is done.\n\nTwo cautions\n\nIt is sticky, so it belongs where nobody will put a hand: not on a handrail, not on a sill people lean on, not within a child's reach.\n\nOn porous or historic stone, test a small patch first. A petroleum based product can mark, and heritage listings often restrict what may be applied to a facade at all.\n\nWhere it is at its best\n\nOrnate frontages where spikes would be visually unacceptable, and narrow mouldings where small birds settle and a strip has nowhere to go. From the ground it is effectively invisible, which is the reason architects specify it.",
