UNIT MAINTENANCE

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.

Apply sealing compound with caulking gun (or putty knife) (2) in 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) minimum fillets (3).

Let sealant cure completely. Nominal curing time is 72 hours at 75F.
