WARNING

Two part sealant is flammable and toxic and shall be used only in a well-

ventilated area away from all sparks or open flame. Gloves and safety

goggles should be worn during use.

NOTE

Maximum application life of sealant is 2 hours.

Mix a small quantity of the sealant, in an open top container, sufficient for the repair being performed. The

sealant is supplied as two components, part "A" and part "B". The two sealant components are different

colors; part "A" is black and Part "B" is off white. The sealant is mixed in a ratio of 10:100 (Part "A":Part

"B") by weight. This means, for example, that one ounce of Part "A" would require ten ounces of Part "B"

to achieve a proper formulation. Before mixing the two components together, each component should be

measured out and mixed separately to ensure that each component is uniform in color and consistency.

Once the separate components are uniformly mixed, combine Part "A" and Part "B" together and mix the

combination together in order to achieve a uniform dark grey color. Personnel should mix the two parts

and ensure that there are no visible streaks of black or white.

Wet rivet with sealant and insert rivet in hole.

Holding hand blind riveter (4) at right angle to work, install on blind rivet stem (5).

Push against work with just enough force to firmly seat rivet and prevent part separation.

Squeeze handle of hand blind riveter (4) and pull rivet until stem (5) breaks.
