Abstract
A method and kit for draining a flexible container holding a product having a viscosity of between 10 Pa·s and 200 000 Pa·s. The method includes using a flexible container (); optionally, moving the container () to be drained to a drainage site; ensuring the viscous product () can flow from container () through at least one outlet (); exerting a pressure on at least one defined area of container () using a pressurizing device which preferably includes at least one pressure member () and/or a pressure fluid to maintain container () in an inflated or partially-inflated state; and removing the pressure once the container has been drained. The drainage kit includes the viscous product (silicon mastic), a flexible container () and a draining device including at least one pressure member and/or pressure fluid.
